We are all doing a lot more home cooking these days, that’s for sure! However, we don’t always want to keep thinking of new recipes and spending time prepping, chopping, and cooking for every single meal. That’s why I am going to share a few ways to spruce up your leftovers for a future meal!

Turn leftovers into a SOUP
Have some leftover chicken and roasted veggies? Throw it all in a pot with chicken broth and let it heat up. Need to add more bulk to your soup? Add canned beans or some rice. Top with some freshly grated parmesan cheese and serve with sliced bread. Voila!
Add leftovers to create TACOS or QUESADILLAS
Create tacos or quesadillas for a super quick lunch or dinner. Use leftover meat, grains, veggies, beans, or whatever is on hand. Warm up some tortillas, melt cheese on top, and serve with avocado if you have one lying around!
Make a fresh SALAD or GRAIN BOWL with leftovers
Top a bed of fresh lettuces or grains (ex. quinoa, farro, brown rice) with leftover meats and veggies. Top with nuts, seeds, hummus, and avocado. Each week, try a new dressing or sauce to keep things interesting, like lemon tahini, dijon lemon vinaigrette, romesco, or cilantro lime!
