hi applebutter007, That is a good question, it will give ous all some new ideals,
. I use leftover cooked chicken for chicken pot pie, I save the brothwith the roasts and use it for veg. soup or noodles, I save the ham bone and any small pieces as well as the broth that the ham was cooked to cook beans, I'am amazed that people will get rid of the water/broth left from the ham, it really seasons the beans!, if there's enough leftovers from a meal, I make my own T.V. dinners in divided ,covered, trays, then freeze and heat later, there's just two of us. And last but not least, I have friends that are single and I sometimes share it with them, depending on what it is, granna2
