10. 남은 빵

남은 빵을 사용하여 맛있는 아침 식사를 만드십시오.

먹다 남은 빵 이 넉넉하면 맛있는 아침 식사와 디저트를 준비할 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, "모닝 애프터" 프렌치 토스트를 만드십시오. 흰 빵에만 국한하지 마십시오. 남은 호박, 호박, 견과류 빵은 모두 훌륭한 프렌치 토스트를 만듭니다. 추가 치료를 위해 으깬 과일을 얹으십시오.

한때 "가난한 남자의 푸딩"이라고 불렸던 빵 푸딩은 오래되고 남은 빵을 사용하기 위해 발명되었습니다. 그러나 디저트 치료는 실제로 매우 풍부하고 맛있습니다. 브레드 푸딩은 버터, 설탕 , 우유, 계란 및 과일의 혼합물로 구운 찢거나 입방체로 된 오래된 빵으로 구성됩니다. 많은 사람들이 버번이나 카라멜과 같이 푸딩에 곁들일 진한 소스를 만들기도 합니다.

오래 된 빵을 잘게 자르고 올리브 오일 을 바르고 오븐에 넣어 수제 크루통을 만들 수도 있습니다. 또는 빵을 찢어서 푸드 프로세서에 던져 빵 부스러기를 만드십시오.

9. 남은 치킨

남은 음식을 냄비 파이에 넣으십시오.

아마도 당신은 슈퍼마켓에서 그 로티세리 치킨 중 하나를 샀고, 이제 당신은 로스트 치킨의 잉여분에 갇혔을 것입니다. 다행히 닭고기는 매우 유연한 재료입니다.

예를 들어, 가족 친화적인 치킨 샐러드를 맛보십시오. 요리가 필요하지 않습니다. 입방체 또는 갈가리 찢긴 남은 닭고기, 샐러드 채소, 올리브, 삶은 달걀 , 포도 토마토 및 갈가리 찢긴 몬터레이 잭 치즈 를 결합하기만 하면 됩니다. 좋아하는 드레싱을 얹습니다.

치킨 케사디야는 치킨과 남은 치즈를 사용하는 또 다른 좋은 방법입니다. 살사와 사워 크림과 함께 제공되는 빠른 식사입니다.

치킨팟 파이는 남은 음식으로도 좋습니다. 올리브 오일과 함께 몇 가지 야채(당근, 양파, 완두콩)를 볶습니다. 약간의 우유와 밀가루를 추가하여 약간의 소금과 후추와 함께 걸쭉한 소스를 만듭니다. 다진 닭고기를 섞어 베이킹 접시에 담습니다. 미리 만들어진 파이크러스트를 베이킹 접시에 올리고, 크러스트를 측면으로 밀봉하고, 반죽의 통풍구를 몇 개 자르고, 황금빛 갈색과 거품이 생길 때까지 굽습니다.

알고 계셨나요? Tupperware는 창립자인 Earl Silas Tupper(1907-1983)의 이름을 따서 명명되었습니다.

8. 남은 칠면조

남은 음식을 사용하는 방법을 안다면 추수 감사절 칠면조가 낭비되지 않을 것입니다.

Some say leftovers are the best part of Thanksgiving . However, all that turkey can get boring fast. Here are some creative ideas for emptying out your fridge:

Turkey tortilla soup adds a little zing to your leftovers. Just boil together salsa and chicken broth. Add your turkey, along with sliced zucchini or squash. Top with tortilla strips, a dollop of sour cream and a lime wedge.

If you also have some cranberry sauce or jelly left over, try a spinach salad. Toss the turkey and cranberry along with baby spinach, sliced cucumbers and radishes. Finish with a vinaigrette dressing.

Turkey with noodles makes excellent comfort food. Cook egg noodles, and brown some onions. Heat up a can or two of your favorite creamy soup (cream of mushroom, for example). Mix up the turkey with the onions and soup, pour over the noodles, salt and pepper to taste -- and enjoy.

Did You Know? Each Thanksgiving, Americans consume about 690 million pounds of turkey.

7. Leftover Steak

Leftover steak makes for tasty stir-fry.

Were your eyes bigger than your stomach when you grilled all that steak last night? Never fear. We have some ideas for you.

Steak is excellent for a stir-fry. Just sauté your steak with your favorite veggies, soy sauce, ginger and sesame oil. Eat as is or serve over rice. Or, try a steak salad with baby spinach.

Beef stew is a comforting winter dish. Cube your leftover steak and dip it in flour. Slightly brown the beef with oil in a large pot. Add broth, chopped onions and veggies, some cubed potatoes, a can of diced tomatoes , Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about two hours or until the potatoes are soft.

You can also use leftover steak for a hearty beef stroganoff. Sauté your steak with some onion and garlic. In another pot, whisk together some milk and flour to make a thick sauce. Add the steak and then some sour cream. Serve over cooked egg noodles.

6. Leftover Ground Beef

Make a taco salad with your leftover ground beef.

Leftover hamburger meat (or ground beef) lends itself quite well to many recipes.

Shepherd's pie, sometimes called cottage pie, is a traditional comfort food that's easy to make. Sauté some onions with butter, then add your leftover meat along with some carrots, peas and corn. Add some gravy or beef stock and salt and pepper to taste. Put the whole thing in a baking dish, top with mashed potatoes and bake until heated through.

Whip up a quick taco salad with leftover hamburger. Crumble the meat with some salsa. In a big bowl, toss together chopped romaine, corn, black beans, tomato and jalapeno. Top the salad with the meat and salsa, along with some cheese and crushed tortilla chips.

If you're a macaroni and cheese fan, try mixing your ground beef in with some mac and cheese. Add browned onions, tomato paste and corn for a Tex-Mex flavor.

Did You Know? Don't throw out those last dregs of beer or wine. Freeze them in ice cube trays to pop into a sauce or stew later.

5. Leftover Vegetables

You can put almost any vegetable in a quiche.

Perhaps your garden provided a bumper crop, or the vegetable tray from last night's party went uneaten. Here are some ways to use up extra vegetables:

Quiche is a very simple dish to make and lends itself well to just about any vegetable. Just fill up an empty pie shell with a mixture of beaten eggs and milk, shredded cheese and chopped up veggies. Season to taste and bake until golden brown on top.

Veggies are also good stir-fried or roasted. Sauté your vegetables with soy sauce and sesame oil. Add hot pepper flakes for some spice, and serve over rice. To roast vegetables, just toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast in the oven until the vegetables are soft. You can eat them in a sandwich, as is, or with rice.

And don't forget you can always freeze leftover veggies to save for a soup to make later.

4. Leftover Ham

Sandwiches aren't your only option for leftover ham.

You might think there's not much to do with leftover ham besides make a ham sandwich. But why not give some of these ideas a try, instead?

Put a new spin on the ham sandwich by preparing a "croque monsieur" instead. This rich French sandwich is grilled a ham and cheese sandwich, but with Gruyère cheese for a grown-up flavor. Top the grilled sandwich with a rich béchamel sauce. Heaven.

A cheese and ham quiche makes an excellent dish for brunch. Beat together some eggs with milk, add diced up ham and shredded cheese. Pour into an empty pie shell and bake until golden brown on top. Salt and pepper to taste.

Or, pull out the Crock-Pot and simmer a ham and split pea soup. All you need is a pound of dried split peas, your cubed up ham, onion, carrot and enough water to cover all the ingredients. Simmer until the peas disintegrate and you're left with a nice, thick pea soup.

Did You Know? 25 percent of edible food in the United States ends up going to waste.

3. Leftover Spaghetti Sauce

Use your spaghetti sauce for stuffed bell peppers.

Use your leftover spaghetti sauce to create new meals that don't have anything to do with pasta.

Pick up some premade pizza dough (or make your own) and throw together a gourmet pizza, using your sauce as the base. Top with whatever you have lying around in the fridge. Be creative!

Pizza burgers are always a family favorite. Just top your grilled burgers with mozzarella cheese and warmed up sauce. Forgo the bun and use garlic bread for a more Italian flavor.

Spaghetti sauce is also great as a topping for stuffed peppers . Slice off the tops of some green bell peppers. Clean out the seeds and stuff the peppers with a mixture of ground beef, cooked rice and sauce. Cover with foil and bake until heated through. Melt a bit of mozzarella cheese on top, and you're done.

2. Leftover Fruit

Mmm. Smoothies.

The good thing about leftover fruit is that even if it's a little too mushy to eat plain, you can still use it in certain recipes.

Overripe bananas make the best banana bread. Add chopped walnuts or pecans for some delicious texture. You can also use your overripe bananas to create banana pancakes. If you don't like bananas, any fruit will work.

Put all your overripe fruit together to make healthy, delicious fruit smoothies . All you need is a blender, ice, milk, honey and your fruit. Blend it all together until frothy.

Make a fruit pie -- or a fruit crumble or cobbler. Bake some healthy fruit muffins (blueberry, strawberry or apple) for on-the-go breakfasts for the week. If you have an ice cream maker, add the fruit to a batch of vanilla for some sweetness.

Did You Know? Keep bananas away from your other fruit. They cause other fruits to ripen more quickly.

1. Leftover Cheese

Mac and cheese -- a kid's favorite.

If you need to use up a bunch of cheese before it spoils, try some of these ideas:

Macaroni and cheese is a favorite with kids and adults alike. You can use gourmet cheese for an adult flavor, or regular American for the kids in your life. Why not throw in some of that leftover ham or ground beef, too?

If you're feeling kitschy, you can make a cheese fondue. Pull out your fondue pot, grab some white wine, cheese, garlic and cornstarch . Use your warm fondue as a dip for crusty bread, apples or whatever else seems yummy.

Fromage Fort is another popular cheesy option. Just run your leftover cheese through the food processor along with some white wine, garlic cloves and black pepper. You'll be left with a rich, creamy paste that you can spread on a baguette and toasted under the broiler until bubbly.
