💭 Things to know
Always look ahead at your menu and get as much done as once as you can. It saves time and money - because you don't have a lot of leftovers sitting around.
- When you make the chicken breast for bourbon chicken make extra for the Monterey chicken casserole and chicken cacciatore.
- Keep side dishes easy. Buy bagged salads, green beans that have been trimmed, whatever it takes to make it easier.
- Small amounts of leftover vegetables can be added together and made into a vegetable soup or added to pasta sauce.
- Leftover pot roast makes great sandwiches!
