So as you may know one of my new year's resolutions was to stop wasting so much food and I hoped that a few of us could work on this together and share our recipes for common food items that are often thrown out. If you want to read more about the challenge pop along to the No Waste Food Challenge Post.
January - Cream
Three entries this month as I only started part way through the month and I was a little bit nervous about advertising my idea. At first I wasn't too sure if it was a good idea but I really want to find a better way of using up the food that is leftover in my fridge or that I throw away. I started with cream because this is one of the things I had leftover from Christmas.

Ren from Fabulicious Food made this amazing Nutella Bread Pudding with leftover cream and panettone. It looks absolutely divine and as Greg adores Nutella and I bought a Whitworths panettone kit in the Christmas sales I plan to make this with my leftover cream next time. Ren's blog is lovely and full of beautiful foodie photographs to accompany her recipes. She also runs the Simple and in Season link up and Family Friendly Fridays.
Helen from Fuss Free Flavours made these slightly Healthier Chocolate Pots with some leftover cream and chocolate. I think the trouble for me would be having leftover chocolate in the house! These look really easy to make. Helen shares a tip from Jean-Christophe Novelli (who she met after winning a prize) that you don't always need to use 100% cream and that can thin it down with a little milk to make these pots. This is fantastic news as it means you can still make scrumptious chocolate pots with leftover scraps of cream and you don't need to use or buy cream especially.
Lastly, I made my leftover cream into butter. I was really interested to try this as I always need butter for cooking and baking. I really dislike cooking with margarine or spreads. I was really pleased with how well this worked and will be buying the reduced cream the next time I see it in the supermarket.
Thank you to everyone for joining in and don't forget to look at this month's challenge.
