Leftovers are a pain. Why? Because there isn't enough food for the whole family, but they take space in the fridge, they occupy the bowls or dishes and more often than not, they are forgotten and allowed to go off!
So what is the solution?
Remember about them and make it your priority to eat them first. Leftovers may not look too apetizing...so make them look so.
Yesterday, we had mince meat mixed with tomato sauce and herbs. We spread it on top of pizza and served it hot. Delicious! Unfortunately, some meat was left and ended up in the fridge. And as always, there wasn't much left. Not enough for the whole family, so I couldn't make a family meal out of it.
But I decided to serve it for lunch. Boiling hot mince meat with added passata (or any other sauce you may have) served with toasts. Yum! There was just enough for two people and not too much to feel like forcing yourself to eat. We also finished a couple of sausages that otherwise would be left for never-never.
A hot cuppa to go with our meal and we couldn't ask for more.
And guess what: I don't have any leftovers in the fridge and I didn't throw any food, so I saved my pennies!
