Three Meals Out of One

Yesterday, we had venison with onions, mashed potatoes, macaroni salad, and homemade biscuits.

Today, I am using that left-over venison and onions as a starter for a nice soup.

The left-over soup will be used to make venison stew.

That's three meals out of one pan of venison!

Are you using up your left-overs in creative ways?

Let me hear some of your great ideas!

Leftovers

Leftovers don't have to be dreaded.

They don't have to get boo-ed off the table either!

If you made too much sauce, like you should have, then you

should most certainly have leftovers.

When serving the same meal the next day, add a nice salad, dinner rolls,

grilled cheese, or awesome dessert to improvise the meal.

This makes the meal enjoyable, instead of boring.

Left-Overs

Before you run away screaming, "No, not left-overs," just listen to what I have to say.

'Left-overs' does not have to mean eating the same meal over and over again.

With a little STRATEGIC planning, you can use up those left-overs and have some awesome meals.

Let me give you an example from one of my meal plans:

Monday - meatballs

Tuesday - spaghetti with (left-over) meatballs

Wednesday - chili (from left-over spaghetti sauce)

If there is a substantial amount of chili left-over, then it would go into the freezer to use at a later date.
(It will make a quick and easy meal.  Just pull out of the freezer and pop into the microwave.)
