Prairie Fare: Try a Salad Buffet Julie Garden-Robinson “I am going to eat my leftovers,” my older daughter announced. “Did Mom make something healthy?” my husband asked. I usually make healthful food, I thought to myself. “I want to eat my leftovers,” my daughter continued. “Your food will be fine if you eat it tomorrow,” I said. “Trust me on this one.” I almost said “end of discussion” but I think they figured that out. I was sauteeing chicken strips and I had plates, mixed greens, thinly sliced apples, croutons, shredded cheese and various salad dressings lined up on the counter.
