Ginny from Just Get Floury in Washington, DC had a lot of extra egg yolks – fifteen of them actually.  One of the things she created with them was some delicious Ricotta Gnocchi which as she said “seemed like a good leftover recipe”.  This can also work as a leftover recipe if you have some ricotta leftover since it only takes a cup…

Marija from Belgrade, Serbia who writes Palachinka had some leftover spring onion greens.  She made these into an easy leftover meal by tossing them in a chicken stir fry.

Tigerfish from teczcape brings us a One-dish Pasta Pipe
Rigate in Light Tomato Soup that is a transformation of a Corn Minestrone. As always tigerfish has taken one great dish and made another equally unique and appealing creation!

Lisa from Lisa’s Kitchen started with leftover bean stock.  In search of a way to “shake off winter and a head cold” she created a soothing Kale and Vegetable Soup.   A great way to use leftover stock and winter greens!

Laurie from Mediterranean Cooking in Alaska  used an original dish for a Lamb Tagine with an error in it that Laurie didn’t catch in time.  But Laurie saved the lamb by washing off the ‘nasty’ sauce and transforming it into this wonderful “Lamb and Leek Meatballs with Onion Egg-Lemon Sauce” dish.  Great job Laurie! You transformed the result of a bad recipe into something wonderful.

Nilmandra from Soy and Pepper in the UK creates amazing bento boxes.  As Nilmandra says “leftovers are great for packing bento boxes”.  Using leftover prawns she created prawns and mushrooms in teriyaki sauce on rice and several others with leftover roast chicken.  Wow – I think I’m a bento convert!

And last is my entry that used up some leftover carrots and beets.  The resulting crisp salad with ginger sauce was quick to make because these beets were simply shredded rather than baked for an hour and it tasted great!
