So grab some pizza dough, anything that’s about to expire in your fridge, and let your imagination run wild! We would all meet up at Sam and Kristi’s, whip up a few batches of super simple pizza dough and lay out whatever we brought. We met our amazing best friends and experienced a culinary awakening. On Fridays we would send out a little group text noting whatever extras we had in our refrigerators—whatever needed to be used up or was about to be tossed out was fair game. Some nights we would make large pizzas, other nights we’d opt for lots of little pies. (Pinterest comes in handy if you end up with really strange combinations of ingredients!)

While revelations of brown butter and sage sauces were blowing my mind, I always seemed to be tossing out bits and pieces of extras from recipes that I just didn’t know what to do with.
