3 Nice Leftover Ideas – Soup, Salad and Pizza

Nice left over meal tonight for the family to eat. As I write this text my gradual cooker is tough at work making half of our dinner. Tonight the gradual cooker is melting frozen leftover pork broth from a roast we ate final week. I grabbed just a little baggie I had of brown basmati rice and added it to the gradual cooker with some frozen corn. Rice will take in liquid so I added twice as a lot water as I did rice. All that’s left to do for this half of the meal is sit again and wait a pair hours for it to completely prepare dinner 김치.

The opposite half of our meal might be pizza. Pizza is an easy meals and something can develop into the topping. I’ve some leftover hand made cheese that must be used up earlier than it turns unhealthy. An hour earlier than dinner I’ll make some pizza dough with 1 ¼ cup heat water, a small drop of olive oil and one tablespoon of yeast. When the yeast foams I’ll combine in 2.5 cups of flour and knead on the kitchen counter. I’ll let it relaxation for 10 minutes earlier than shaping it to suit my greased cookie sheet. The toppings for this pizza might be leftovers from different meals. On the weekend I made some home made cheese from entire milk. I’ll use the cheese to evenly cowl the pizza. The remaining toppings might be a tomato blended with garlic, salt, oregano, and olive oil. Ending the pizza might be chopped olives leftover from my celebration I hosted on the weekend and chopped pork from a roast I bought on sale final week.

A salad can actually make a meal really feel balanced with diet though I don’t depend this as a serious portion of a meal. Caesar salad dressing with romaine would be the closing portion of this meal.

All of us see the mouth watering commercials for soup, salad and bread sticks on T.V. That is how I make our model of soup salad and bread sticks at home for a fraction of the fee. Nearly every thing on this meal is a leftover from one thing else we cooked or ready inside the previous few days. Slightly than losing meals by throwing it out we created financial savings by utilizing it to arrange one other meal. Having one much less meal to buy is an effective way for a family on a restricted funds to maximise the usage of all of the meals you could have in your home.
