With a fridge full of leftovers and a tired mama, we decided it would be leftover night. DS1 comes up and begins his 'mannn I hate leftovers'. If you took it and froze it and brought it out a couple weeks later, he'd be fine with that. But from the fridge? whine whine whine.
I offered him sloppy joes as we'd had them a couple nights ago. He declined. As he went back downstairs grumbling, I got an idea. a wonderful awful idea. I dug out a can of beans and a bit of chili powder and mixed it all together and warmed it up. Voila! Chili!!
I called him up. He said 'mom you're the best!!!' and happily devoured it.
No wasted leftovers. happy son. Evil grin for mom. win win win
Tuesday, Nice weekend!

Not a bad Mother at all just an inventive one, needs must. LOL
I agree with Maureen. Actually, I try to do this all the time. I HATE leftovers.
So roasted chicken becomes chicken pies, chicken soups, fajitas, etc.
Mashed potatoes becomes shepherd pie.
Etc.
It just calls for more imagination. :)
