My leftover game changed when I stopped seeing them as scraps

Now I treat leftovers like building blocks for the next meal. It's saved me money and reduced food waste.

Totally get what you mean about seeing them as building blocks. I started doing that with leftover veggies and proteins, just throwing them into a scramble or fried rice the next day. It really does stop you from seeing them as useless scraps. My fridge used to be full of half empty containers that would just go bad, but now I plan my next meal around them. What's your favorite combo you've made from leftovers so far?

Isn't fried rice the ultimate leftover hack? I threw some weird fridge bits into one last week and it somehow worked.

How many half-empty containers were in your fridge at once?
