Utilizing Leftovers - Maximizing your wallet

I was once "guilty as charged" in this department. I used to throw away extra leftover food from meals because I didn't want to eat the same meal again or simply didn't know what to do with it but those days are long gone! Learning to "re-vamp" your leftovers can help maximize the dollar you spend at the store. Ladies, think using a black blazer to pull off several outfits! We make that little number work for it's money and utilize it in many ways! The same comes to your food. So if you cook vegetables for dinner and end up with half a bowl leftover or even a cup, SAVE those! Place them in a Ziploc for soup the following day or freeze them for a meal later that week! Leftover meats? Slice them up on a salad the next day. Leftover potatoes? Use them to make potato cakes or hash browns for breakfast. Get creative and think outside the box! I challenge you to do it and then share with people what you came up with. Here's an example: I made Pesto Rubbed Pork Chops for dinner last night and had two leftover so, I sliced it up and made a salad for lunch today!

Hit me up with questions if you are stuck with something and you don't know what to do! And as always.......

Happy Healthy Cooking,
