How to reimagine leftovers as new meals
When storing the leftovers for refrigeration, I like to pack everything in small glass containers to see what I have, and they don't take on the scents or flavors of the other foods. I can lay them all out on the counter to see what will be in mind for the upcoming meal.
I like to find a protein, a veggie, a starch, and work from there. I never like to make the same themed meal twice in a row. So I won't make Lasagna on Monday and Spaghetti on Tuesday.
But, I will make Spaghetti with meatballs on Monday, use the pasta for Lo Mein on Tuesday, and the meatballs for subs on Wednesday!
Or after making a veggie-heavy meal, I like to take the leftovers and make a hearty stew or quiche!
