Leftover friendly recipes which help you get through your week,save more money and enhance your lifestyle
For when you're staring down the same dinner three nights in a row
I have a problem, and it’s about time I admitted it: I am a big-time
food-waster. Each Sunday I go shopping with the honest intention of
using every ounce of soymilk and every last spoonful of avocado I load
into my cart. And every Saturday I throw away something like a few cups
of rice, a half-carton of spoiled yogurt, and sometimes even (gasp!) a
whole rotten avocado. It’s time to make a change. So to help stop
wasting food (and money), I’ve rounded up a bunch of ways to make use of
the most common extras in the kitchen. Here are 65 creative ideas for
meals to make out of leftovers, from French onion soup to banana ice
cream. Some of the ideas are made from entire leftover meals (think half
a pizza pie); others make use of ingredients that tend to spoil quickly
(like, ugh, brown bananas).

We love cooking! But that doesn’t mean we always have the time (or...energy) to cook every single meal every single day. That’s when we turn to the recipes that are not only delicious right after serving, but also as leftovers a day (or three, or four) later. Think stews that get better with age, roasted salmon that’s just as satisfying right out of the fridge, and lentils that won’t mind another day in their marinade
