LEFTOVER FOOD TIPS
- To heat leftover tortillas, grease a skillet lightly
with oil and place over medium heat. Dip tortillas in water and quickly steam-sauté them
on both sides.
- One way to freshen stale rolls is to seal them in a
brown paper bag, sprinkle the outside with water, then heat 10 to 15 minutes in a 350*F
(175*C) oven.
- Combine leftover mashed potatoes with chopped onion
and shredded cheese, then bake. Tastes like twice-baked potatoes without the work!
- Leftover spaghetti noodles? Add diced raw vegetables
and enough bottled Italian dressing to coat for an easy and refreshing salad!
- Form balls of leftover mashed potatoes around cubes
of cheese, roll in Parmesan cheese or crumbs and broil until golden brown. Yummy!
- To freshen stale rolls, seal in a paper bag, sprinkle
the bag with water, and heat 10 to 15 minutes at 350*F (180*C).
- Keep special carafes handy for red and white wines
left over from the dinner table. When you've collected enough, use in sauces and salad
dressings.
- Cool leftover French toast, then freeze it in single
layers. Store in self-sealing plastic bags. Pop in your toaster to reheat.
- Leftover spaghetti noodles make a wonderful addition
to any stir-fry dish. Stir-fry noodles in 2 tablespoons hot oil for a few minutes; remove
and set aside. Prepare your stir-fry and stir in the "fried" noodles last.
- You can use potato cooking water as the liquid in
making bread — it's a great flavor enhancer.
- To make leftover fruit pie taste
"just-baked," wrap in foil and warm 10 minutes in a 350°F (180°C) oven.
- For the ultimate turkey sandwich, place leftover
sliced turkey breast, a heaping spoonful of stuffing and a slathering of tart cranberry
sauce between two slices of your favorite bread.
