We have a bunch of leftovers so I am thinking that we will go buffet style. Having a leftover day really helps to cut back on waste in my house. Sometimes we do buffet style with them, and others I may create a whole new meal.
Example for the new meal
Sunday I may cook a whole chicken - after we have eaten what we will I take the remaining meat off the bone and bag it up.
Lunches would include chicken sandwich's
Monday I may make fajitas, or chicken chili with some of the chicken.
I can generally get a few lunches and a couple dinners, depending on the chicken! This not only keeps my household from having to throw away food it keeps us from being tempted to grab Mc Donalds on days that I am too busy or just don't feel like cooking!
You could also save the bones in a ziploc in the freezer and once you have a couple make chicken broth to use for soup
ReplyDeleteGreat idea I like that
