What leftovers are you having today/tonight .

[Amy :-)]

I'm making an omelette from last nights chicken stir fry.

Are you making your omelette in the varoma Michele?

[fundj&e]

there is so much you can do with chicken leftovers, frank is not a fan of chicken, i hardly ever make it now that the kids have gone

[mcmich]

Yes I am. For yesterdays stir fry, I marinated the chicken and put it in the bottom of the varoma, did the savoury egg to cut up in the top part of varoma while the rice was cooking in the bowl. Great one pot meal.

Uni you are the leftovers guru
We are having leftover lasagne tonight.

Gosh I forgot all about this thread Uni.  A lot of people live on leftovers, not leftovers as such but something from yesterday's meal will be incorporated in or be the inspiration for the next day's meal.  A roast chicken carcass will become chicken stock, excess vegies will be turned into a wonderful frittata (especially now that so many of us have a pizza machine).  Leftovers to me means a free meal or part thereof and being just the 2 of us means we usually do have leftovers. Mostly our leftovers are whole meals but I often cook more vegies than needed so that I can do a fry up for a quick meal . Keep this thread alive, let us know what you are turning yesterday's leftovers into - Uni is a master at it and I'm sure there are others out there who are very creative as well.

Here's some sites specifically for leftovers

Thanks for those links Judy, they'll be very useful

Uni, well done on your creatove use of leftovers

At the moment I am trying to make leftovers stretch as far as possible, mainly because it is such a hassel to cook! We're hoping to have the kitchen cupboards fitted by the weekend.

Well made mince and onion and mashed potatoes, and will be having same tomorrow in cottage pie tomorrow.
Experimental bake with custard as left over dessert.

Nothing special.

Our leftovers seem to get eaten the next day for someone's lunch.

[Jamberie]

Great thread, so inspiring...leftovers for me usually means reheating the same, Uni & Judy you are both very clever at reinventing meals, I'm looking forward to reading your ideas

Not often leftovers in this house since DS moved back, unless its salad.

[Mama Fergie]

Leftovers get taken to work for lunch. DH takes a few serves for our DD's who work with him.
Sometimes depending on what it is we will have it for dinner again the next night. Never goes to waste 

[DizzyGirl]

DH takes leftovers for lunch. If it is pasta, DS takes it to school and we pay 50cents to have it reheated up.
