Left Overs Can be Right

As a kid, I hated left overs, maybe it was the name or the fact that the food that was left over, there were reasons no one ate it the first time. I mean call something 'left over' and it just brings out the ew in a child.

Now I love left overs. Making meals ahead of time is awesome. My fridge is stocked full of food just waiting to be warmed up.

Baked Chicken breasts: wraps, fajitas, stir fry, salads, sandwiches and sometimes just on the fork. (yes I will eat a breast of chicken off the fork--never hits a plate) It is also great for pasta dishes, rice dishes etc.

Boiled eggs: half a dozen in the fridge. Excellent snacks any time of the day. Great for salad additions, egg salad sandwiches, devil eggs.

Beef roast: Cook up a small beef roast and slice it up. Ready in the fridge for fajitas, stir fry, sandwiches, served over rice.

In the freezer: Chili, beans and rice dish, tomato noodles and anything that I can make a large pot of and then divide and freeze.

Just pick a day and start making things. Then when the week is crazy busy, you have home cooked meals that need to be eaten up.
