While cooking can be fun and exciting, having plenty of leftovers can be a frustrating experience. If leftovers stay in the fridge too long, they may go bad, leading to food wastage.

If you have leftovers, here are smart ways to re-use them:

Add them to your omelette

If you are a lover of eggs, then making an omelette with your leftovers the next day is the best thing to do.

A plain omelette can be made gourmet with a variety of added ingredients. Any type of meat and vegetables can be added to make a great omelette. Add more flavour with some seasoning, a generous portion of cheese and your leftovers!

Freeze them

Consider this as a last resort! If your leftovers are piling up, then the best thing to do is seal in containers and freeze. This way, your leftovers will only require quick microwave re-heating. This can also help you on days when you don’t have time to cook or make lunch from scratch.

These ideas are just some useful ways in which leftovers can be re-used and re-purposed to avoid wastage.
