It's great fun to improvise a recipe with things you have on hand, as well as leftover cooked food. The beauty of it is, no waste, a makeover of the leftover, saving money, etc.
Tonight I did all of these things when I made a cheesy noodle dish. I used flat Pastene spaghetti that was already cooked (big time-saver), a small canned ham, a package of shredded cheese -six cheese Italian blend, and some broccoli. It was as simple as steaming the broccoli, frying chunks of ham, dumping the macaroni in, heating up with a pat of butter and a little heavy cream, the cheese, then the broccoli. It was very satisfying and filling. I ate more than I should have. The rest I froze to use as a lunch. I'm trying to get smart and not waste money on take-out. It's faster, cheaper and tastier to make lunches from leftovers. Feel free to share your best recipes from leftovers!
Take Care!
