Leftover Loving 2 Ways

Hey guys! So I made this a couple of days ago. I contemplated what to do with the leftovers.

 

I found these in the pantry…


I made 2 different dishes.

Tom Yum Seafood Soup with Jasberry – Rice I cooked the soup according to package and adding in my veggies, leftover fish, and shrimp. Nice and spicy! The rice was a perfect combo!

In my second dish, I added chopped artichokes, black olives, capers, and the rest of the shrimp to the spinach pesto pasta. Salty, garlicky, pasta perfection!

Lots of leftovers for the week!!!! Score!

Leftover Loving-Arugula, Goat Cheese, and Apple Fritatta

So I am not paid to endorse Blue Apron ( I will if they are reading this, hint, hint), but I really have enjoyed the meals so far. This is my families favorite…011

Roast Pork and Smashed Potatoes.  I really don’t want to be sued, so let’s just say that I followed the recipe to a tee.  I basically roasted the pork in a cast iron pan with a special spice blend. I cooked some small potatoes,  smashed them, and roasted them in the pork pan. I made a side salad of arugula, walnuts, apples and goat cheese. It was all amazing!

I was the only one who ate the salad. DUH! But I made this beautiful healthy frittata…

Arugula, Goat Cheese, and Apple Fritatta- I really just added all the ingredients of the salad above with a few chopped mushrooms, 1/2 chopped pepper, grated Parmesan cheese, and 8 eggs. This picture does not describe the beauty of this masterpiece. Wilted Arugula mixed with eggs and cheese is a thing of beauty. I ate a piece for breakfast cold with a bit of Cholula on top. YUM!!!!!!!

Ideas for leftovers

Happy Sat. Having a lazy day here at home loafing on the couch =) Here are a few things I made this week using some leftovers in my fridge…

Steak and Potato Fritatta

I had some leftover steak and pan fried potatoes, so I mixed them up in about 6 eggs. I added some leftover mozzarella and Parmesan cheese as well. This delicious egg dish can be eaten cold or hot!

BBQ Pork and Mushroom Quesadillas

I had some killer BBQ pork quesadillas from Jim and Nicks last weekend. I took home some leftovers, so here is how I re-purposed them. I took out the pork. I cooked down some mushrooms in a pan, then added the pork with the mushrooms to heat it through. Then I put them back in the tortilla with a piece of provolone cheese. Then I put a little butter in the pan and crisped up the quesadilla and melted the cheese. PERFECTION!

Veggie Orzo

I had some leftover orzo and kale salad and a few carrots, celery stalks, and mushrooms in the fridge. I sauteed the veggies and added the orzo and some cheese. Again, good cold or hot.

Buffalo Chicken and Veggie Orzo

The next day I added some leftover boneless hot wings. I just chopped them up and added them in with a tablespoon of blue cheese. I warmed this one up for an easy lunch! No picture, but it pretty much looked the same as this but with some chicken in it.

Last night the girls and I went out for pizza. I had a Greek pizza and the girls had mushrooms, black olives, and bacon. I have some leftover, but I don’t think I will transform this dish. I could eat cold pizza right out of the fridge all day long!
