739 - How can we use leftovers creatively in cooking?

Using leftovers creatively is a great way to reduce waste and try new dishes. Here are some ideas:

1. Make a stir-fry: Throw leftover veggies, meat, and noodles into a pan with some oil and spices for a tasty and quick meal.
2. Turn last night's dinner into tomorrow's lunch: Use leftover dinner to make a sandwich, wrap, or salad for the next day.
3. Make a soup or stew: Add leftover veggies, meat, and broth to a big pot and create a delicious soup.
4. Get creative with pasta: Use leftover pasta to make a pasta salad or add it to a soup or casserole.
5. Make a breakfast dish: Use leftover dinner to make breakfast burritos, omelets, or frittatas.
6. Freeze it: If you don't have time to use leftovers right away, freeze them for later and use them to make soups, stews, or casseroles.

Remember, the key to using leftovers creatively is to think outside the box and experiment with different combinations of ingredients!
