I had quite a few leftover roasted veggies in the fridge from a few nights ago, so chopped up the spuds and fried in butter with herb salt, chopped up the pumpkin and carrots and beetroot, threw it all into a casserole dish.Then chopped up chunks of cream cheese and scattered over the top. Then I made up an eggy mix with milk, fresh chopped chives, grated cheese and mixed in some wholegrain mustard, poured over the veggies and baked....it is soooo good!!I'm determined never to throw out leftovers again and am getting very creative on "making up" days.Does anyone else have a leftover recipe to share??

sounds yummmy....petal-pickle ....well done. I like cold roast veg in sandwiches. I also try and plate up two extra roast dinners, and I heat them up two days later. Quiche, always goes down well

Yep, its just too wasteful.Its rubbish day here so I was just going through the fridge to see if anything needed to go in the bin, glad I recooked them into something yummy.Easy to collect lots of things in the freezer too, was very embarrassed the other day, had a friend over and we ended up cooking dinner together, dug out some peas from the freezer to discover they were 4 years old!!Had freezer burn so threw them out, cleaned out the freezer the following night.

Thanks omokoroa, yep often all thats needed is a good dose of sauce for moisture and pasta to pad it out a bit!!And always lots of herbs or spices for flavour.I feel like I've cheated the bank when I do this, yay!!!!

When we have a roast I always make lots of gravy then next day or so all the left over meat and roast veg is chopped up and whatever else is lying around into a large fry pan, heat til sizzling then pour over the gravy(mix a little water in if too thick) stir well until well heated through, this meal is almost as popular as the roast :)

My freezer needs the same treatment. Doesn't seem that long ago that I last did it but time flies and stuff soon gets lost and forgotten in there.

I saw a few days ago in a recycling pamphlet from our council that New Zealanders throw out the largest amount of 'waste' food of any other country..
