Depending upon what's left - usually things end up in a casserole, stew, or stirfry.

Today I found in the fridge:
2 chicken thighs
about 1/2 - 3/4 cup of cooked rice
about 1/3 cup of corn
2 really ripe avocados
I did an allrecipes search and came up with this recipe:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Mexican...e=1&ismetric=0
I tweaked it a bit to make only 1 serving (my kiddos only like plain food so plain chicken, rice and corn for them lol). I also do not have any cilantro so I picked a green onion out of the garden.
I mixed all the ingredients (except the avocado) and warmed it in the microwave. Topped it wish one small mashed avocado - delish Will definately make again.

Most of our leftovers end up in sandwhiches for dh & I for lunches..
I normally don't overcook unless it's with intentions for lunch meals etc for dh & I and it's normally things like chili & macaroni casseroles which we don't mind eating for lunches for the week.
I'll be following along to get inspired2019 is the year that we continue to save before we buy!!!

I really liked the mexican rice dish so I made a big batch of it (minus the chicken) and DH and I had it as a side dish Tuesday and Wednesday.
Today I have to use up the rest of the black beans, 1/2 red pepper and a pkg of mushrooms so I am going to make a big batch of spaghetti sauce and add 1lb ground beef and 1lb ground pork.
Good thing I can go grocery shopping again either tomorrow or Saturday as I am pretty much all out of produce except for 1/2 cucumber, a 1/2 bag of carrots and a few apples and 2 bananas.

When one has starving roommates, there are no leftovers.
I try to make meals in large batches & freeze in portion containers. With a few exceptions, I make sure to save a spoonful or two to share.
