What a great idea! You could put any combo of leftovers in there. I made roasted veggies last night as a side to grilled chops, and if I chopd up the leftovers (zuke, onion, peppers, potatoes) and added that to some cheese/cream cheese, it would make a great ‘melt.’

Thanks! :)

Cream cheese and veggies.....what could possibly go wrong?

Diana I have those pictures of my el cheapo root cellars in the garage. Took two large coolers we had. I had a nice plastic tray that would have been perfect but it is an inch too wide. I used some wire mesh to have some air under the potatoes. I opened the bags for now. Can't do a whole lot with a sprained ankle. One cooler has spuds, the other onions a few sweet potatoes and a couple of squash. They are all fresh harvest and on sale. I found two cheap thermometers, mercury kind for only 2.99 regular price at our meijers. Taped them inside the lid and on each corner of the cooler I put a piece of plastic tubing and taped it so the lid does not close completely and hopefully mice won't get in. This is the second day and they are both 58 degrees. Our front airlock closet is where we have always kept our potatoes and onions in trays on the shelf. It is 69 in there now. We are in west Michigan near Grand Rapids so I am hoping they will not freeze. It is an attached garage and I've done a #6 big crock of sauerkraut out there for many years. Its a smnall amount and won;t keep us through the winter but we can avoid some store trips as we are prepped out pretty good.
