Some of my best meals have been created that way (and chickpea curry with home-made green tomato chutney is now a firm favourite!). Some nights it’s left-overs “tapas” instead.

Tonight it’s bits & pieces fritata topped with some hummus I made last night (thanks for the recipe). Tasty low-fuss Friday night noms.

In my haste to get to work this morning I left my delicious lunch as pictured above on the train!

Realising I had no lunch I’m glad I had a cup-a-soup stashed at work and a fruit box and biscuit tin I could raid, but reflecting on the reality of being able to buy lunch if I forget it with barely a second thought was sobering.

You’ve been doing well! Getting creative with leftovers is all part of the challenge with frugality in food, for sure.

With Chinese meals at home, it’s quite easy to put a small portion of something alongside something larger you’ve cooked for the evening.

Otherwise leftover ingredients usually work quite well thrown in with pasta, on a pizza, in a salad, in a soup or, sometimes, even in a stir-fry bulked out with other stuff!
