In response to our joke about leftovers, a smarty pants reader brings up a practical if nerdington point. Respect. wtfai: in macrobiotics (or a fair bit of cooking with whole foods) leftovers can save a considerable amount of cooking + prep time each week - I’m beginning to learn how to leverage this concept.. ..it also seems to me that if you were used to having leftover food at the end of each meal, it would reduce any desire to “clean your plate” - and by this I mean the desire to finish eating one’s meal simply because you don’t want to let it go to waste - by using leftovers regularly, you needn’t worry about wasting, now do you?

Quick poll: Is baking nerds into a cake too extreme? Yes or yes? bakeitinacake: Hey, Nerds! Did you know you can mix Nerds candy into your favorite cupcake batter to make an even better version of confetti cake? It’s true! Just mix up a basic vanilla batter (my recipe is here), and then stir in 3/4 cups Nerds candy. Fill your cupcake tins 3/4 of the way full and bake for about 23 minutes, until they’re golden brown and the cake springs back when you gently press your finger into the top of it. I finished mine off with vanilla buttercream and an extra sprinkle of the dangerously crunchy candy. CUTE!
