Making good of leftovers

I do that a lot

good meal hack

Know what is another good vehicle for leftovers? Chilaquiles. Eggs, stale tortillas, whatever else you happen to have sitting around that's not enough to pack for lunch, scramble & eat.

Also if you've got a few leftover veggies but not enough to just eat alone, wrap it up w/ cheese of your choice in puff pastry. Poof, you have a galette.

Both brilliant ideas - chilaquiles are great for any meal too.

I'm all about soups/stews - I've got about 4 lbs of slow roasted pork shoulder in the fridge right now to use up through the week. Tonight, 2 cans Muir Glen fire-roasted diced tomatoes (b/c they are THE BEST), about a pound of the pork coarsely chopped, 2 cups of crimini mushrooms in big chunks, 1 big chipotle in adobo, cumin, mexican oregano, epazote, and about a cup of leftover chicken stock made an amazing stew in about 20 minutes.

that sounds great.

i'm admiring your airy last sentence, la lechera.

my kinda magic imo

jaq your stew sounds great -- it reminds me of my favorite "uh oh these sweet/potatoes are about to go bad" curry. (tomatoes, garbanzos, sweet or regular potatoes, onions, buncha spices, something green, voila)

you can also throw part of an old curry in there and just make it new-old curry
no one will ever know!

I am a wizard with a can of those tomatoes and a pile of spices :) I'm going to try a curry tomorrow - never really made one!

WTF
