LEFTOVERS FOR LATER

Get creative with leftovers. These ideas work great for on-the-go evenings.

  • Cook extra ground beef for tomorrow's tacos, or create meaty quesadillas with leftover cooked pork. Add your favorite toppings, and serve with salsa.
  • Make a salad using leftover grilled chicken, crumbled bacon, blue cheese, tomatoes, and other toppings over mixed greens. Serve with Ranch dressing.
  • Have a pork tenderloin sandwich dressed with cream cheese, orange marmalade, sliced red onion, and lettuce.
