In my home, it seems like everyone is busier than ever. Try as we might, it is difficult to enjoy every dinner with everyone around the table. My solution was to make extra on the nights we are together, so that there are good options for busy nights. I soon discovered that leftovers are not always a favorite, and would be left to languish in the refrigerator until I threw them away.
I hate wasting food. So, what to do?
On the days in between our family meals, I started using leftovers in quick, simple dishes. Everyone is happy – the leftovers are used, everyone has a “fresh” meal and no one is the wiser.
In the next few weeks, we will be featuring Second Chance recipes that can easily incorporate leftovers.
Because we are pretty sure that you hate wasting food as much as we do.
