Left overs!!

[Green Mountain]

Okay everyone must be on vacation over here on the Scuba Chef.

Now anyone can open a cookbook. Go to the store and buy ingredients and put out a meal.

But how about opening the refrigerator and making a great meal out of what is left over? That is one of my favorite things to do.

Like I used to tell my kids, "You better eat your supper or you're are going to get it in your eggs on Sunday morning!"

Every year we have a company clambake. And every year there is a bunch of lobster, clams, steak, rolls, sauage, shimp etc left over. Everyone is stuffed by the end of the day so nobody wants to take anything home.

So it has become a custome for me to grind everything up the next day . After mixing it all up I then stuff clam shell halves. I bake these for about 20mins. After they cool I freeze them. 2 months later at our Shop Christmas party we feast on "Clams Casino" I've been told that these are better than the clambake.

What are your leftover tips???

We call them "Garbage Omelettes." Also, you can put just about anything in a tortilla and melt some cheese over it.

Another favorite that they like is fried rice.

Fry a diced onion. Scrabble an egg or 2. Dice up any meat or veggie. Throw that in. Then a cup or whatever of cooked rice. Some soy sauce to taste.

Watch the cat get neverous when you are cooking this.

One of my favorite nights as well! We call them Mustago nights - as in "this must go, that must go..." Usually cook a couple main courses - a roast or baked chicken over the weekend, then warm it up or incorporate into other dishes during the week. The roast is 1 meal, some sandwiches made, the remains shredded in pieces w/ chopped tomatoes & sauteed vegetables, served over rice, pasta or polenta - ala Italian stew, chicken ends up in everything from tacos to curry to salads & soups. On my way home now to see what can be done with some left over London Broil.

I bought several of those separated plastic dishes with covers from the dollar stores. As I'm cleaning up after dinner, I put the leftovers in these, ready to go to work with me next day. If I make several, my husband is always glad to find one if he comes home for lunch that day.

mix some yellow rice, left over sausage, shellfish, shrimp, chicken, pretty much anything with some left over veggies.
