April Showers Bring May Flowers

​I remember hearing this adage when I was small, but I didn’t get the nuance until I was older and had experienced some of life’s “showers” of hard times.  It’s such a nice way of saying that rainy days may not be fun, but they bring forth wonderful things. It’s a wonderful perspective, don’t you think?


Some of you may not look forward to cooking, or see it as something not fun, but making the effort brings forth amazing things.  When I think of rain, I think of being refreshed, rejuvenated and replenished. That can happen with cooking!  

Over the weekend I made this killer tortilla with leftovers I had in my fridge. It had chicken, chipotle in adobo sauce, cheese, tomatoes, and onion. I fried up the  tortilla really crispy, and stuffed it with my concoction.  It was so ono!  It’s so satisfying to create something “new” with things you already have. 

Some people may see leftover ingredients as the equivalent of April showers, but really they are May flowers!

Here is something else I made with contents from my fridge.
