As a kid, I hated leftovers. I don't know why? As an adult, I love them! Certain foods are just fantastic as leftovers. They tend to marinate a bit and get more savory. Cooking and cleanup takes only a few minutes! We don't waste money. It's a win all around. My kids hate leftovers though 😂 I can't be mad or force them to eat leftovers when I hated them as a kid as well, right? 🤙

This has been a random parenting thought as I eat dinner by myself, since my kids don't want leftovers and my wife is not home. 😭

Leftovers also make great chicken feed... :)

Leftover chicken makes a great human feed. That's what I'm eating right now!

It's an amazing circle of deliciousness

I love cold chicken. So good after a night in the fridge.

Derek Ross 2y ago

Yep! I love it too.

My daughter will eat anything, leftovers included. My son is the pickiest eater 😂 He won’t eat leftover macaroni. I even once tried pretending I’d made it fresh by heating it up on the stove. He knew as soon as he took the first bite and gave me a death stare. I was rolling 🤣

That's great. 😂 Though some things do suck if they're nuked. Pasta is one of them. Sometimes adding a bit of water or milk, depending what it is, will help.

Cold spaghetti is top tier leftovers

corndalorian 2y ago

Agree with you on this 😂

Derek Ross 2y ago

Hmm. Sometimes I'll reheat leftover spaghetti in the ole cast iron and make a baked spaghetti meal. Sprinkle some cheese, sauce, and meatball on that... Perfection.

🤤

I should try it again sometime with a little milk added. I have a feeling he will know but it will be fun to see his reaction either way 😂

I like Leftovers too, but this monologue gave a vibe of gpt3 don’t know why 😂❤️

Derek Ross 2y ago

I hate that bot.

jamw 2y ago

Do not underestimate the good of leftovers. Also why waste perfectly adequate food/nutrition? I bow to you…

Sounds like a marketing problem. Delicacy > Leftovers

Derek Ross 2y ago

It could be. I never went to leftover food marketing class. They were at 8am and I liked sleep.

Leftovers are 🔥

Derek Ross 2y ago

Thanksgiving leftovers are the best. All the juices have time to flow together and infuse each other with their deliciousness.

my feeling: When I am hungry it is good, when I am full it is bad...!

Swift⚡️ 2y ago

I like the Costco’s Chicken Rotisserie and Chicken Bacon warmed up in an oven! ❤️

CountSatula 2y ago

Leftover Jambalaya is my favourite. The spices get all up in there.

Most of the tipic italian old receipt come from leftovers, and they are just amazing. An example could be meatballs, before they were made from already cooked/boiled leftover meat from the day before or similar. By the way, another example.. the best moment to eat a lasagna is the day after 😆💜🤙

I think anything that was slow cooked is twice as good reheated. Can’t explain it either! My kids also hate on LO night

jason⚡️ 2y ago

I love leftovers too. My family is fine with them but I’m the “crazy” one for loving leftovers cold, never reheated. Burgers, pizza, pasta, rice. Whatever it is, cold is better.

Derek Ross 2y ago

cold pizza is fine, i need the other one heated though.

tempestk 2y ago

I like cold pizza, it has a different texture but tastes the same, its not bad. Especially if you eat pizza every day. Switch it up

I like leftover steak with my eggs. One time I cooked a ribeye for my kids and they didn't finish it. That was one of the best breakfasts ever.

Derek Ross 2y ago

absolutely! i do this a lot!

Gerson Martinez 2y ago

I am my family's human vacuum cleaner. I end up inhaling everyone's leftovers (which I love to do).
