A quick meal from leftovers

No matter what, we always need to eat that next meal. Tonight I had pinto beans still left, so we had those, plus some of my cornbread I made to go with them. I also found I still had a dish of homemade cranberry sauce to eat. That went on the table as well. At Aldi today I bought a small bag of sweet potatoes. We each had a small one with our beans, cornbread and cranberries. It all tasted pretty good.

Yes, I remember that when we were house full no sooner would breakfast finish that I needed to plan lunch and so on... No by the time dinner comes it is something simple and maybe leftovers. I wonder how time flewby soooooo fast

You have other things to think about and time does fly.

Sounds nice. We'll be having cold pickled pork. We had it hot last night with mixed vegetables in a parsley sauce.

Now I will have to search and learn what pickled pork is.

@GardenGerty Do you have corned beef? It's the same but it's pork.

If I have some leftover foods, I will still re-heat them. I think it is not good to waste food.

I agree with you on this. Especially if it is homemade food.

@GardenGerty Besides, left-over foods are tasty.

I made baked fish fillets with cherry tomatoes and onions that I served with potatoes for dinner.

My kind of meal! I cooked a huge pot of butter beans for Tony, I will freeze them in single servings so he will have many meals to come, I also made cornbread, sliced and froze it as well. Cook once eat many times.

Yes, indeed. We are needing to eat more beans as they are cheap, and healthy. Good side dish too.

Yes. I could probably stand to skip a meal or two, but hubby needs to eat, he has lost too much weight.

@GardenGerty I understand, I consider doing OMAD (one meal a day) sometimes. But I am sorry to hear he's lost too much weight...so he does need to eat then!

That sounds like my kind of dinner. I love those nights when we clean up all the leftovers and have our own version of a buffet.

Yes, our closest ones are an hour away so it takes some planning to get there.
