Leftovers anyone? What do you do with food leftover from big family meals?

Well, we do a little bit of all of these. Food doesn't seem to last too long around here, between my fiance and my son. They love to eat. I do send leftovers in my fiance's lunch. He really enjoys them, and they have a microwave at work so he can heat up anything that needs warmed. One of our favorite things with leftover turkey is a family version of "turkey enchiladas". They are in a white sauce, instead of regular red or green enchilada sauce. They are also loaded with cheese and calories, lol. They prove to be very filling and warming on a chilly autumn night.

I have seven kids. If I make enough for leftovers, its nice not to have to really cook the next day. Leftover turkey is usually grilled and added to grilled cheese or in an omlette. Its really good!

We always eat the leftovers. Mostly my boyfriend takes it all to work the next day. If there is a lot he will save some for me and I will eat it for lunch. The things we make are usually complete meals and cannot be made in to new things, which I guess could get boring. But everything I make is sooooo yummy (even the simple stuff) so we always want to eat it all. Plus we don't have a lot of money so we make sure to use what we make. That response before mine, with all of the recipe suggestions deserves a "best response"!

With left offers we can make some other dishes ..check out the following few. Ham slices — Heat ham slices with your favorite barbecue sauce and serve on rolls. Meat Balls — Slice meatballs. Sauté bell pepper strips until crisp-tender, then add the meatball slices to the pan to heat through. Use as a sandwich filling for French or Italian bread, adding warmed spaghetti sauce as desired. Meat Loaf — Blend a can of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup with 3/4 cup milk. Spread about 1/3 of this on the bottom of a casserole dish. Layer slices of leftover meat loaf and mashed potatoes over this. Top with the remaining soup mixture. Bake at 325 degrees F for about 45 minutes. Oatmeal — Add cooked oatmeal to pancake or muffin batter. Pancakes — Sprinkle with a cinnamon-sugar mixture, then roll up and eat. Pie dough — Roll dough very thin, dot with butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Roll up, slice off 1-inch pieces and bake flat side down. Kids love these!

bring it to work for lunch!

In our house, sometimes we make enough for leftovers! Its nice to not have to make a meal everyday, so we have what we call, "Leftover Night"!But, sometimes leftovers pile up and when you here, "Leftover Night", it just becomes a pain and all you hear are moans! And, when the time FINALLY comes when the leftovers turn bad, you have to through them away. As for when there is very little left, someone (eventhough they maybe full) scarfs it down!!!
