Almost everyone has turned leftover baked beans and grilled hotdogs into beans and franks.
Or turned a little of this and a little of that into a comforting soup or stew.
Recently, I made applesauce BBQ chicken,a Taste of Home recipe, using leftover cinnamon applesauce from the freezer, leftover chicken and BBQ sauce I got for $1.00. I served it with the leftover potato salad from the night before and a simple vegetable. Three leftovers made another different and delicious meal.
Another time, I used flour to thicken leftover vegetable soup and turn it into a pot pie. With a little extra onion for added flavor, this leftover made a new meal.
I made kale salad with lemon vinaigrette recently. The next night, I sauteed the leftover salad in oil with some garlic to turn it into a great side dish: garlic sauteed kale.
Leftover green salad with Italian dressing was recently pureed and became the flavorful base for Italian vegetable soup.
Leftover rice and meat regularly becomes either a rice pilaf or fried rice.
Leftover veg and meat, with some added milk and eggs, turns into quiche.
Leftover corn or baked potatoes or both is turned into a chowder.
Coleslaw leftover from your picnic meal can go on top of pulled pork (or chicken) sandwiches.
Once piece of ham becomes a family meal when cubed and tossed with pasta and peas in a light cheese sauce.
One or two leftover hamburgers can feed a family of four when turned into cheeseburger scalloped potatoes.
Small amount of leftover roast beef can be a family meal when you turn it into a cheese steak pizza.
Get creative with recipes. Improvise if you don't have the exact ingredients listed. This gets easier the more you cook.
Eat more makeovers and have some leftover money in your budget at the end of the week. That's a win.
