Leftovers are Reality
One reality for all of us is that we have bits-and-pieces of leftover foods in our fridge. If we’re smart, we try to use them up within a few days. If we’re not…we throw them away and waste money.
Leftovers are Fun
No matter your age, it can be fun to use up leftovers. Think creative, think food art, think colors and textures and flavors. Making a leftover concoction that is healthy, satisfying and cheap can make your day!
Leftovers are Healthy
A healthy kitchen produces healthy ingredients for a leftover meal. What do you see in your fridge right now? A cup of cold, cooked vegetable; a bowlful of cooked pasta; a quarter bag of spinach leaves; a two inch cube of natural cheese. Just about everything can be mixed, tossed or crafted into a tasty, leftover meal.
Leftover Meal Ideas
1. Leftover spinach leaves + cut up cucumber + olives + leftover canned tuna + light dressing. A delish cold dinner salad! See photo above.
2. Leftover cooked pasta + leftover steamed veggie + leftover Marinara sauce + cut up hard boiled egg. A creative warm pasta dinner!
3. Leftover vegetable or bean soup + pita bread and leftover shredded cheese, melted + fruit salad of apples and bananas. A quick soup and sandwich dinner!
