Which big meals do you most look forward to the leftovers?
For me it's pot roast.

I just had some leftover cheesy potatoes from last night's supper.
No ham. Great anyway.

(60,022 posts)We love to cook and make lots, so pretty much any of our creations are great as leftovers!
With Thanksgiving around the corner, my favorite thing to do is make a spicy turkey tortilla soup out of the bones.....that's a great soup as a leftover as well.

Fisherman's platter...
Thanksgiving dinner because it's cooked by a stepdaughter, who makes it each year.
She always sends us home with a couple of plates full of leftovers.
My son and his wife have Christmas Eve at their house and we make a trade...I leave them my homemade chicken lo mein and take home their cheese and potato pierogi, and fried fish.

(6,996 posts)Left over roast beef sliced really thin and mounded on rye bread with just salt and pepper is great but I like it with horseradish added for zip. (I've also made that sammie w/mayo but don't tell anyone )

(34,138 posts)I really don't like fish left overs - fish needs to be cooked fresh and eaten immediately. Though tuna or salmon burgers (made with canned fish) aren't too bad as leftovers.

(3,275 posts)My roommate used to make a lot and we would have it to take to work for lunch for a few days. Also, lasagna, barbecue chicken and mashed potatoes, pasta with pesto sauce and penne ala vodka. We did a lot of cooking.
