Same with the leftover rice, Barbara.

I also roast lots of veggies around here, and anything leftover goes on pizza the next day or into pasta sauce.

I have pledged to start this year with a clean slate so I am trying to use up a lot of the contents of my freezer. Today I took out some chopped up ham leftover from the holidays and made a ham and cheddar quiche.

I will defrost a chuck roast this weekend and make a balsamic pot roast and the next night we'll have either beef sandwiches or beef and mushroom soup.

Leftover homemade biscuits from dinner last nite I split in half and topped with a scrambled egg and a little shredded cheese for breakfast.

My aunt keeps a "Soup Bucket" in the freezer. When she has a leftover veggie, she puts it in the bucket, layer by layer. When the bucket is full, she makes a pot of soup.

I had the second half of a batch of Beef Stout Stew in the freezer. We re-warmed it the other night, but still had some leftover. With a hot, crusty French baguette and a bottle of red wine, the stew will be delicious again tomorrow night, this time ladled over large, smashed baked potatoes.

And, Barbarainnc, my mother kept a soup bucket in her freezer, too. As a child, I despised it, thinking she was saving garbage. What I wouldn't give for a bowl of Mom's vegetable soup now.

Barbarainnc....love the "Soup Bucket"!...and fun thread for ideas. I have to laugh about leftovers. My DH was not raised eating leftovers (his dad's thing)......but, when we got married it was......leftovers or starve! HA! He loves all leftover meals now! (Does not like wasting money either.)

I do something similar for my chili. It's usually Everything But The Kitchen Sink chili so no 2 pots are the same.

Great way to use leftover beef, ground turkey, veggies or too ripe tomatoes/onions.
