How To Use Leftovers

You have just finished another meal. Like usual, you made too much. Of course, wasting such good food is out of the question, but how can you serve these leftovers a few days in a row without boring your family's tastebuds? Well, change what you can and reintroduce them to your family. There are three ways to use the same leftovers, over and over, without encouraging your kids to desperately seek friends' invitations to have dinner at their home rather than with you. How? Simply follow these useful tips.

1. Save your mashed potatoes!
   1. Take an egg and 1/4 cup of milk.
   2. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
   3. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
   4. Preheat the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
   5. Lightly grease a cookie sheet or use a coating of cooking spray.
   6. Roll your leftover mashed potatoes into small balls, the size of a large marble up to the size of a small bouncy ball. Take a resealable sandwich back and fill it up with some Cornflakes. Seal the bag and crush them with a can or a rolling pin until it is crushed into small piece, not into a powder.
   7. Dip the balls into the liquid and cover them with the Cornflakes.
   8. Put them on the cookie sheet. Cook for 15 minutes. This time will allow them to be hot.

   Enjoy them with any meal of the day, even at breakfast time!

2. Use your boiled potatoes! Boiled potatoes may seem bland after a few days, but why not transform them into something new and delicious? They actually make delicious breakfast potatoes when pan-fried. Add some dill, salt, pepper and some garlic, and your tastebuds will beg for more. Something that started as a dinner side dish ended up transforming breakfast into a feast!
3. Mix the old with something new! Let's say you have a lot of leftover meatloaf. Well, focus on adding new side dishes, as they will add some variety and will delight your guests. Instead of the mashed potatoes and peas that you served last night, trade them in for a nice garden salad and some rice. Changing the face of your plate will delight your family while it will also prevent boring them with the same leftovers, over and over.
4. Chicken, turkey and ham are best friends with creativity! These three types of leftovers make variety easy. Serve them up in a different way every night. Casseroles, sandwiches, soups are only a few ways to use these wonderful leftovers. Use them in omelets in the morning, a sandwich at lunch and a tasty soup in the evening to accompany your main course.

Why facing boredom by reheating leftovers when you can either add something to them or transform them into something new and delicious. Free your imagination and delight family and guests with the tasty results while avoiding expensive and unnecessary waste. Enjoy leftovers by seeing them in a new light!
