If you have a big family, then you probably have lots of leftovers after every meal - and you don't have to throw them away!
New eco-trends suggest wasting less food to safe money and resources, and it can also be just handy and cheap to use what you already have.
Here are a few ideas for you!
Leftover Roast Chicken Tacos
Shred the remaining roast chicken and sauté it with some onions, garlic, and spices.
Warm up some tortillas and load them with the flavorful chicken, along with your favorite toppings like avocado, salsa, and cheese.
Vegetable Frittata
Leftover roasted or steamed vegetables can be turned into a hearty frittata.
Simply whisk some eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the vegetables in an oven-safe pan and bake until set.
Sprinkle with cheese for an extra savory touch.
Pasta Carbonara with Leftover Bacon
Crisp up those leftover bacon slices and set them aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, grated cheese, black pepper, and a splash of cream.
Cook some pasta until al dente, and then toss it in a pan with the bacon drippings.
Remove from heat and quickly stir in the egg mixture, ensuring the heat from the pasta cooks the eggs without scrambling them.
Add the crispy bacon and additional cheese for a comforting and indulgent pasta dish.
Vegetable Stir-Fry
Take those stray vegetables lurking in your fridge and transform them into a vibrant stir-fry.
Sauté them in a hot pan with some sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
Add a splash of soy sauce or your favorite stir-fry sauce for extra flavor.
