We used to live where we had a big lawn to mow and DH had long hours at work.
End result was I had to take over the grill duty if we were ever going to have grilled food. I started grilling a little extra each time. By the end of the week, we'd have a big pile of some of this and some of that in the fridge. Fire it up a bit in the microwave and enjoy the "mixed meats grill platter."
Yum!
About six months ago, when I was doing low-carb, one evening when Xena's Guy was out of town I was foraging for dinner and ran across my abundant cheese drawer. (I buy cheese like regular women buy shoes.)
So I took out every cheese I had, cut off a little from each, arranged it on a plate lightest to fullest, and had me a Cheese Tray Dinner! It was SOOOOO GOOD.
Sounds great! Using up combined leftovers in a well-presented meal is an art. Ever watch that cooking channel show where the chef shows up at someone's house and, using only what happens to be in the fridge/cupboard, cooks up a gourmet dinner?
