How do you recycle your leftovers?
I often cube leftover meatloaf and add it to marinara as a psuedo spaghetti and meatballs.

Leftover chicken of course, become chicken ala king or a pot pie?

What are your best RE-USE ideas?

I make a lot of soups. Left over anything usually becomes a soup. :-)


Leftover
Check out my potato patties.


Wrap them up in a tortilla!
We generally make a taco of some sort, or a casserole. Plus, we take plates of food to people we are trying to reach out to. It is really a great ice breaker to stand at someones door and say, hey, we were thinking about you. Are you hungry? {hugs}

I like to roll up different stuff in egg roll wrappers and then fry em up.


Re: recycled leftovers
I have to laugh about your question because my family is so large, I have to PLAN for leftovers. With eight of us, sometimes I have someone grumbling that they didn't get seconds. And when I do plan for leftovers, we usually eat it the same way, if there is enough. My family doesn't mind eating something two days in a row as I almost never make the same thing within a 2-3 week period--or even longer.

Leftover meatloaf is planned for sandwiches. I make soup so often that we don't much desire to have soup made out of it, IF there were ingredients. And just IF there is a little of something, I freeze a dish with a serving of everything so my hubby can take a meal to work. He never buys fast food as it just is not in our budget right now. And sandwiches can get tiring.

Leftovers become lunch in a family of two, or snacks in the case of the powerlifter. We have different appetites -- I'm not hungry in the mornings so three biscotti will get me to lunch whereas he'll have half a steak from last night.
