I'm turning a lot of leftovers from the week and turning them into new delicious dishes to avoid waste this week. Ever think "there's just too much _______ left and it needs to get eaten but I just can't eat ________ anymore? That's when you think out of the box and it's no longer ________.
A couple ideas from the past:
Roast beef turned SW black bean and beef chili.
Steak with a quick mushroom and Swiss sauce for mushroom and Swiss sandwiches was delicious.
Fried chicken with light crispy Panko batter becomes Kung Pao, Orange Chicken or Stir Fry.
Left over potatoes can become dumplings, pancakes and more.
Any meat and veggie combo can become a "shepherd's pie"
Or create your own pie based on what you have. I made a Rachel pie with Turkey leftovers at Thanksgiving and it was gobbled up super fast and was so easy. Turkey, homemade dressing, sauerkraut, apple slices, cheese, and a pre-made pie crust.
I will post a few of the recipes I found from the cook book I started 20 years ago for some new recipes in the meantime enjoy your leftovers and I'll see you with something fresh and new again next week!
