Do you recycle food?!
Answers: I like to use left over meatloaf in a pasta sauce.And then use the left over pasta sauce in chili.Then left over chili,well that goes to my black lab Lucy Lou.But do you recycle food dishes into other things?What is your favorite?
Haha again cold pizza, is that recycling???????? hehe
Leftover roast into stew or shepherd's pie, leftover chicken into chicken soup. You can make soup out of anything.
I call that morphing the food from one meal to the next - recycling is what my children do that aims for the compost heap. My city doesn't collect the table scraps yet.
My roast chicken become chicken salad and chicken sandwiches, and any cooking juice gets made into a gravy or saved for soup but I don't have a morph that goes three steps like yours.
Congratulations!
Yes, I call it re-vamping LOL
A good example is one I did recently. I can never make just enough Spaghetti noodles and ALWAYS have left overs.
I put some garlic,green pepper and olive oil into a fry pan I used some leftover bacon I also had on hand chopped into small pieces.MIxed in the spaghetti until heated through Added some crushed red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese and scallion to the top and tossed well. It was great
I 'recyle" all the time. I tell my husband if he likes what I've made, too bad, because I can't make it again:) .... I used to save all the liquid from steamed veggies and make vegetable soup with everything left in the refrigerator, the day before I went grocery shopping ... leftover roast or steak becomes Beef Stroganoff ... leftover veggies and chicken become Chicken Pot Pie ... even stale cookies become Ice Cream Sandwiches, and cake can become Trifle .... My yellow lab (Bear) and black lab (Lola) can fight over anything else, but what Lola wants, Lola gets:)
feed it to the little woodland creatures
awesome dog name, by the way :)
Yes. I make Chicken Parm. out of left over chicken cutlets, Soups out of left over meats,such as Beef Barley out of Pot Roast.
I do...One of my favorites is meatloaf...It's AMAZING what you can put in meatloaf!
I put some leftover chili in once, my husband swears that was the best meatloaf he's ever had (he's a chef)..
Last week I put some leftover veggies from a pot of soup that was nearing the end into meatloaf...it was great!
Pasta dishes are great for leftover useage...
Quesadillas are too! One year in college, we made quesadillas with leftover Thanksgiving food! They were Awesome!!
Go Ahead...experiment! It's fun, and it saves you money!
