I hate waste of any kind, especially food.\u00a0It is really sad to waste perfectly good food just because we cooked a tad extra or bought a bit more.<\/p>\n

Many times, despite\u00a0one’s\u00a0best efforts, food does go waste, especially cooked food, simply because no one likes eating what is very obviously ‘ Yesterday’s food.<\/p>\n

But if we take a tiny bit of effort and use our creativity, we can rehash and re-create an entirely new dish out of leftovers, something that everyone will chomp down\u00a0without blinking an eye or uttering the L (Leftover) word.<\/p>\n

That is the best way to avoid waste.<\/p>\n

Be creative. Save food.<\/p>\n

Here are a few recipes that I use in my kitchen to serve up food in a new avatar.<\/p>\n

Chicken Laksa Curry<\/a>–\u00a0convert into a delicious One Pot meal by serving up any leftover meat with Noodles & vegetables.<\/p>\n

These are my favourite recipes for leftovers.<\/p>\n

What do you do?<\/p>\n

Do you just heat them up and eat as is?<\/p>\n

Do tell. I’d love to know.<\/p>\n
