Black beans, grilled chick breast, and a glass of very good rye.
I used to make at least a dozen pot pies from a left over turkey. Most were frozen. With cream cheese crust. Unbelievable how good that smells baking.... another use for extra filling is on top baked potato. Don't forget the butter.
Leftover cooking is the only cooking. Leftovers is the point of making a fancy dinner.Got rid of it just in time to get another in the coming months.
I like to cook/eat like that too. Roast something for 1 or 2 meals, then make all kinds of different things with the leftovers. Pies, pastas and curry. That would usually get me through the week.
I used to also do that with "Mexican night". I'd make Spanish rice(not paella) and enchiladas(beef and cheese). Then when I was done putting them together and in the oven, I'd layer all the leftover ingredients and make a Mexi-casserole, which I'd have ready to toss in the oven the next day.
People who don't cook are always amazed at how a change in presentation/format/carbohydrate can entirely transform a dish into something else. Like, exactly the same ingredients. They just don't see the connection like some people do. People who cook with leftovers look at a roast or a bird and see multiple dishes, not just one meal, to be picked at throughout the week. Some people don't think about the fact that Taco Bell may have 40 things on the menu but, nearly every ingredient they stock can be found in a 7-layer burrito. lol
leftover roast chicken and heated up frozen vegetable medley.

So I bought some chicken thighs a while ago and last night I made the meat into chicken chilli.
Cooking improvisation is an undervalued, undertaught, underutilized skill for sure.People who don't cook are always amazed at how a change in presentation/format/carbohydrate can entirely transform a dish into something else.

One of my favourite things is after Thanksgiving, take stuffing(dressing) and add an egg and a splash of milk(cream). Make it into a sort of batter. Add a few whole cranberries. Put it in the waffle iron. When golden, put it on a plate and add turkey and gravy. Super tasty.

its the first week. its usually anyones guess whos gonna be good. im not sweating it
no, lets call it what it truly is. a bunch of lazy mofo's
It's true. One of the most common questions I hear when teaching someone younger to cook is, "Can you do that?" Like, can you just crumble up leftover hamburgers for chili, or can you use farfalle instead of penne, can I cook cubed bread instead of buying croutons, etc. They don't think about ingredients as their own thing that can be used for all kinds of purposes. Rather, they see ingredients as just that, part of a whole. It's mostly due to "convenience" packaging and pre-made this or that, I think.
... I didn't go back to check but I'm guessing we're talking about the football stuff I see you guys talk about.
I would look up an oatmeal raisin cookie recipe and replace the raisins. Or, you could replace a portion(maybe a third) of the flour for oats, in your regular cookie recipe. You'll still get that oat flavour but, the safety of your standard choc chip cookie recipe.If I remember I will talk the family into trying your Thanksgiving Waffles.
Do you know if to make chocolate chip oatmeal cookies out of a non oatmeal recipe if I just replace part of the flour with oatmeal, or I add oatmeal without replacing anything. does it even matter?
