Leftover Lettuce Cups

Appetizers and snacks, Leftovers/ Freezer Meals, Sandwiches

Here is another idea on how to use up your leftovers; Lettuce Cups! These are a nice healthy way to use up leftover meat or veggies you have hanging around. Yesterday, I had the idea to make a snack with some leftover ingredients from my sandwich bar; bibb lettuce, tomato, bacon and a touch of mayo. A BLT without the bread! Today I made 2 lettuce cups with leftover Mexican steak and veggies topped with cheese and sour cream. A fajita without the tortilla!

If you are looking for a healthier alternative to bread, this is a super healthy idea. Even if you are not but just want to try something new, this is a delicious way to change it up. You could bag up all the ingredients individually and take this to work for a fast and easy lunch. I am even thinking of doing this with egg salad, chicken salad, or even roasted veggies to make a vegetarian meal. The options are endless! I hope you try this and enjoy!

Leftover Pork Ragu and Orzo

Leftovers/ Freezer Meals, Pork

It is another snowy night here in Atlanta! Tonight we had some leftover Pork Ragu that I pulled out of the freezer a few days ago. I added it on top of some buttery orzo. It was very comforting! Stay warm and safe out there! Tomorrow afternoon it is supposed to finally over freezing, so hopefully the ice will melt!

Leftovers/ Freezer Meals, Weekly Meal Plans

Hey guys! I took a little break from the bloggie and barely lifted a finger in the kitchen last week! It was so nice to take a vacation from cooking, but I have to admit, I did miss cooking dinner for the family! I did NOT miss doing the dishes! I have been taking stock of my freezer, and I found a ton of leftovers that need to be used up. Well, here are just a few things that were lurking in the deep freeze that will most likely be on the menu this week. Gotta run to the store to stock up on some staples. Can’t wait to see what I come up with this week!!!

Steak and Eggs Brunch

Breakfast and Brunch, Eggs, Leftovers/ Freezer Meals

I thought of this meal last night when I was making dinner. I knew that there would be a bit of steak leftover from those 2 humongous Porterhouse steaks. I knew I had a couple of avocados that I needed to use up. I knew I had some leftover pita that was on its last leg. Oh, and I had a few farm fresh eggs left over in the fridge. PERFECT! I thought about adding some salsa or hot sauce, but I wasn’t really in the mood for spicy this morning. One pita held everything perfectly, and one leaked out a bit. I have no problem getting a little dirty while I eat. This is a great way to repurpose your leftovers. Have a great day! See ya back at dinner! Got a yummy seafood dish coming up…

Chicken and Mushroom Stoganoff with Sauteed Spinach

Chicken, Leftovers/ Freezer Meals

Hey guys! So last night I made a delicious meal of pork chops, mashed potatoes, gravy, and peas. When I remembered to take a picture, everything had been mixed and melded together and was not very photogenic for my blog. There were 8 pork chops and 6 people. Papa (my dad) ate with us, so we had a full table. There were NO leftovers!!! Well, there was 1/2 a pork chop, but I fed it to Brutus, our dog. He is such a good boy! =)

Anyways, on to tonight. I made an extra 2 pieces of chicken Sunday night when I made this…

I had some leftovers, so I just had to warm up the chicken and sauce. I cooked some whole wheat (healthy!) pasta, and I also sauteed some spinach with 3 sliced garlic cloves and a bit of olive oil (more healthy!) It comes together in less than 10 minutes. So simple! Another night of clean plates!
