Ways to Use Left-Overs

If it's good food, don't throw it away. Little left-overs or big ones, fit into many dishes. A switch in recipes here or a novel dessert there - and your left-overs are put to work in interesting ways. Egg yolks can substitute for whole eggs, for example. If bread is a bit dry, then it's just right for French toast. Other left-overs have a way of adding food value or a fresh new touch - such as fruit in muffins or vegetables in omelet.
