Wouldn’t it be nice to have the time to cook a fresh homemade meal every night?

Ya, it would be amazing.  But for most of us, it is not practical.

So what happens, is we grab takeout.  We end up feeling bad about the money we are spending and the food we are eating.

How do we fix this?

It’s time to embrace leftovers.

Before you turn up your nose and stop reading, hear me out!

Leftovers can be soggy and unappealing but it’s usually because of a bad recipe choice.

What makes a great leftover?

• Ingredients that take the same amount of time to reheat.

• Hearty veggies, such as carrots, reheat well.

• Soups, Stews & Curries can actually taste better the next day

• Cooked components, such as sliced grilled chicken or steak make a great topping on a salad.

Here 5 recipes that make great leftovers

Remember:  A leftover can simply be a cooked component that your turn into an entirely different meal.

I often tell my clients to cook once and eat twice.   You will save a ton of time and dishes.
