What to do with Leftovers...

I used to despise leftovers!! I hated that the reheated stuff was just the same thing the night before with the exception if it was spaghetti. I could eat that 24/7. Leftovers can be so boring!!

So, moving into this house has made me more thrifty, as if I could get anymore thrifty-er... I love leftovers now! Why?? Because usually I try to figure out a way to recreate them into something else that is "new to me". For instance, using leftover taco meat and spanish rice to make stuffed peppers (found here).

I have recently was thinking of writing a book for this very concept but found out some have already beat me to the punch. Anyways, just making it a game keeps things interesting. Such as last night, I re-used brown rice and put it into a pan of red beans, rice, and polish sausage. I also have some potato soup in the fridge. What could I do with that? It could be a base for chicken/turkey pot pie, a dip, or put into another soup...
