I don’t use a lot of leftovers, but I’ve been trying to plan ahead to use some. For instance, if I am making rice pilaf I save the leftovers then I serve it the next night with vegetables lo mein. It tastes like fried rice reheated and gives my oldest daughter something more to eat because she doesn’t care for the lo mein as much as the rest of us.

I never would have thought to do that. I must admit that I’m a ‘follow the recipe’ type cook. I don’t think to experiment with foods. Your meal looks good.

You are not alone, regarding leftovers. My husband used to be a “must go” kind of guy, but he is coming around. Your left over, must have sauce is a great idea. Thank you for sharing. I am so glad that you joined us for Tempt My Tummy Tuesday. I hope you will keep coming back with great tips and recipes, like this.

Third time is a charm. I have tried 3 times to comment and something always happens. LOL

I am guilty of this and am trying to figure out ways to not let things go to waste. Like the saying goes…Waste Not Want Not.

Thanks for this great post.

Great idea, I would have never thought of using carrots that way.

I recreate, too! There is so many different things you can do to be creative with leftovers. We turn leftover chicken into chicken salad sandwiches, fajitas, enchiladas, soup, or most anything that requires chicken and same thing with beef/pork.

I am like you…I don’t like to eat leftovers however, I’ll eat and do “leftover makeovers”!

Looking for other ideas for those leftovers…here is a post that I did a while back on “leftover makeovers”. http://glimpseofsonshine.blogspot.com/2008/02/frugal-friday_08.html

We do our best to be creative with leftovers. They usually go for lunches. As we rarely have enough left overs for a dinner.

I have tried doing similar things. Your supper from last night sounds yummy!

I did something similar last night too. I made brown rice, brown gravy, then added leftover ground beef from a meatloaf (cut in small pieces). It actually tasted like a stroganoff. Yummy!

You are just so creative! I love leftovers.. Even if they are just the same thing reheated…. I am going to email you from now on and ask what you think I should make with the leftovers! lol
