I love me some leftovers. I do all sorts of things with them, from simple reheating to converting them into dishes that require leftovers.
Some of the dishes I prepare are made as much for the leftovers as for eating the first time round. Spaghetti and chilli are two. Hell I love them so much that I can actually just eat the sauce stirred into cold noodles/rice. I'm that way about mac and cheese too, but in my house, it's hard to actually have mac and cheese leftovers; there may be a single or half serving's worth left, but usually that's it unless I cook so much that folks literally can't eat more food.
Cooked veggies nearly always end up in a sandwich. Some of the leftover meat from beef, pork, duck or game roasts ends up minced and mixed in with a salad dressing like sauce and used as either salad dressing, or as a cold sauce over hot veggies. Other times I add it to cheese and add it to a potato. And, of course, leftover meats and shellfish make great omelette stuffings.
Leftover starches are sure to become part of a sandwich of some sort.
So how about you? What do you do with your leftovers?
