Double-Duty Dinners
2 Meals in 1
Plan for not one, but two (or even three) evenings' meals. These "planned" leftovers create new meals from a previous night's meal and give you more time to spend with your family.
Meal 1
Pot Roast
Meal 2
Chop leftover beef and heat with your favorite barbecue sauce or salsa. Serve on hamburger buns with chips and fresh fruit.
Meal 1
Roast Chicken
Meal 2
Chop leftover chicken and mix with canned beans and shredded cheese. Spoon onto tortillas and roll up. Wrap in foil and heat until hot. Serve with tossed salad and brownies.
Meal 1
Broiled Salmon
Meal 2
Flake leftover salmon and heat with cooked fettuccine, cooked vegetable mixture and refrigerated Alfredo sauce. Serve with bread or rolls.
Time-Savers:
Trim prep time using these quick tips:
- Boil water ith the lid on the pot. Be sure the water is unsalted; it will boil faster.
- Chop extra onions, celery and bell pepper, and refrigerate or freeze for ready-to-use veggies. Do the same when cooking pasta and rice.
- Use convenience items such as sliced, shredded and cubed cheesesl pre-cooked bacon and meat; and packaged salads and vegetable mixtures.
