Remember Frugality? Use the Leftovers!

Not all leftovers are created equal.  Some things can easily be incorporated into a new meal.  Leftover beans or peas or corn can just be heated and put on the table.  A pork chop or a piece of steak can be chopped into small pieces and added to a salad or soup.  It would make a can of vegetable soup really shine to have meat in it.

Left over pot roast becomes the best ever stew or hash.  Just cut the vegetables and meat up and let them brown slightly in two tablespoons of oil and add the gravy or liquid from the roast.  Or you might add a can of broth or mushroom soup or, maybe you like Alfredo sauce.  Toasted French bread is good with this, especially if you spread some garlic butter on it.  Maybe you like cornbread or crackers.  My advice it to like whatever you happen to have. 

When you are using leftovers, you often come up with new combinations and create new flavor sensations.  Be adventurous!
