5 Fabulous Leftover Meals

Shhhh don't tell them, they won't even know it's leftovers.

L/O BBQ Chicken on the bone:
Skin it and shred it.
Use the meat in a lettuce wrap with hoisin sauce and crisp veggies or a taco shell with greens and honey mustard sauce.

L/O Steak:
Cube it and marinate in 3 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp of dried oregano, some diced onion. Serve with organic mixed greens for a steak salad.

L/O Veggie Kebabs:
De-skewer it and blend it up with 1/2 cup of sour cream for a roasted veggie dip. Great for chips, bread or veggie dip.

L/O Salmon:
Mash it and mix with 1/2 cup of plain yogurt, a pinch of dried dill, couple shavings of lemon zest, 1/4 cup finely chopped celery. Makes a great salmon spread for sandwiches or crackers.

L/O Corn on the Cob:
Shave it off with a knife and mix it into some freshly cooked rice with some butter. Voila you got yourself a new side.
