The Culinary Art of Left Overs
SUMMARY: As food prices rise, frugal cooks can utilize leftovers to create affordable and delicious family meals. Instead of relegating leftovers to the back of the fridge, purposely prepare extra food to repurpose in various dishes. Almost any food can be re-served, with exceptions for seafood and certain perishable fruits and vegetables. Creative leftover ideas include salads, sandwiches, pasta, and appetizers. For instance, rotisserie chicken can be transformed into chicken salad or soup, while leftover beans can be sautéed with various vegetables for a hearty meal.
