Leftovers
Bacon
- Purchase large packet of bacon slices on special, get large
area of glad wrap, lay each slice, cover with gladwrap, and
continue, finish with an all over wrap and freeze with date;
each comes apart easily as required. - BMD, Christchurch.
Breakfast
cereal
- Use leftover breakfast cereal in
muffins. Delicious when mixed with stewed apple and rhubarb. –
D.G.
Cake
- If you have left over cake,
biscuits, trifle sponge, etc turn it into a steamed pudding.
Just mix all together, bind with a little milk, put a dollop of jam or golden
syrup in the bottom of the steamed pudding bowl and drop in your
mixture. Steam for about one hour. - D.M.
Fritters
- Fritters are a good way to use up left-overs. If making fritters with
meat or fish, you will find a little goes a long way. Sweetcorn fritters
are also a yummy snack. Keep a can of corn in the pantry for unexpected
visitors. - M.N.
General
- Every one has left overs and they go in the fridge and come
out a week later nothing like when they went in, OK put them
in but the next day pack them in what ever containers you
have and put into the freezer, when you have enough to 1/2
fill a casserole dish in a bowl mix 1 cup cheese, 1/2 cup
milk, 4 beaten eggs, 1/2 cup flour, salt & pepper, 1/2
cup chopped parsley, {and any other herb you have in the
garden] and if you have silver beet in the garden about 10
leaves sliced up fine with stalks, mix it up and pour over
your casserole dish and stir to just mix ,if you have
tomatoes to use up slice over the top, bake about 30 to 45
min's [depends on what your left overs are] until it starts
to leave the sides and is a nice brown top, eat hot with a
salad or cold as a lunch slice, you can add cooked meat or
raw fish or a can of salmon as a treat.
- Blueberry, Picton.
Sandwiches
- When sandwiches are left
over use them by placing them in a roasting dish. Scramble
some eggs and pour over the sandwiches. Bake until golden
brown - turns out life a fluffy oamlette. Use leftover breakfast cereal in
muffins. Delicious when mixed with stewed apple and rhubarb. –

Smorgasbord
We don’t do leftovers
in our home. What self respecting "Oily-Ragger"
does? We have “the fixings for a Smorgasbord", which
happens every Friday night. Any and all leftovers are nuked,
baked or snavelled from the depths of the freezer and fridge
and popped on the table. Smorgy Night. No takeaways for my
clan. And surprisingly this is the night when my teenager
tends to bring home her friends who love our Friday night
Smorgys. - Waste Not Want Not Lauren, Whangarei.
Vegetables
-
I love putting mashed leftover veges with cheese on top with a
can of baked beans underneath & heated well.
Its a vegetarian version of a cottage pie! - A
Hume, Wairoa.
- When
I have vegies left over I put them in the pot with other
vegies for the last 5 minutes the next day. – J.O.
