Using Leftovers

 For tonight's delicious dinner, I am using the following leftovers:
Mashed Potatoes
Steamed Mixed Vegetables
Breaded Lightly Fried Chicken
Salad
Cottage Cheese

Here's what I made with it:
Potato Cakes (drop mashed potatoes into nonstick pan, cook till brown then flip. no oil needed)
Gravy (Cream of Chicken soup with milk, chicken and the steamed veggies
Salad
Cottage Cheese Whole Wheat Bread w/butter
 This was a super yummy adventure! Here are the leftover ingredients I will be using tomorrow:
Refried beans
Salad
Slow Cooked Roast Beef
Mashed Potatoes


 It'll be Mexican night, with probably some Spanish Rice and either Chimichangas or a Taco Casserole. 
 I am going to use the potatoes to make Mashed Potato Bread. Haven't made it before, so I'm pretty excited!
 Remember, there are all kinds of adventures waiting to be had if you'll just pull out those leftover ingredients and start googling! ;)
