Make Use of Those Leftovers!

A variety of leftovers in the fridge plus some creativity can make for a great meal. Today I was home for lunch and thoroughly scoped the fridge shelves from top to bottom. I pulled out a bag of romaine salad, leftover black bean shrimp with green beans and onions, and baked tilapia. Then, I carefully portioned out 3 oz of shrimp and 2 oz of tilapia. I scattered the shrimp and tilapia on top a pile of salad. To top it off, I added some balsamic vinegar and the leftover green beans and onions. As a result of my creative salad endeavor are a number of benefits. 

  1. Clears out the fridge, creates new space
  2. Makes the most of home cooked meals, no wasting of food
  3. The shrimp and tilapia (or any leftovers) are already seasoned so it brings flavor to the salad as a whole
  4. You are in control of what and how much to add to your salad
  5. You are getting a serving of veggies!
  6. Doesn't require any spending; no eating out, delivery tips...etc
See how creative you can get with your salad!

  1. Most of the time I'm too scared to mix things together because it may not taste good! I should def be a risk taker from now on....the results seems deliciousss :))) Next time there's nothing to eat in the house I'm so not going to reach for a quick unhealthy snack. Instead, I'll brainstorm on healthy meals I can come up with :) Thanks for this blog post! :D
