    Welcome to our Weekly Meal Plan Week 16!

    Who loves meal planning? Go ahead and raise your hand. I know you love it as much as I do. It makes life so much easier. Plan ahead and it's less eating out and less leftovers.

    I really would like to start sharing more leftover recipes here on the blog. Does everyone else struggle with ways to use up leftovers? I know I'm always looking for ideas.

    Personally I like to revamp leftovers. There's very few things that taste good on day. Things like Lasagna, or Soup are always better on day two, or three.

    However most things don't taste as good reheated. So I like to mix it up and turn those into new meals. One of my favourite things to jazz up on day two is roast. You can turn it into a Stir Fry.

    I love chicken for leftovers too. You can whip up fajitas, tacos, stir fry, enchiladas, panini's, wraps, pizza, and so many other things. Leftover chicken is just about the best thing ever.

    I also love making pulled pork, then I use the leftovers for everything from pizza, to sandwiches, to wraps, or casseroles. I think pulled pork is one of the most versatile recipes in the world.

    Did you know you can also turn leftover ribs into something absolutely amazing? I make a double batch every time I whip up ribs, then I turn the leftovers into Mini Rib Sliders. Amazing!

    Whatever your stance on leftovers I think we can all agree that meal planning makes life so much simpler. Browse all these amazing blogger recipes for tons of inspiration.

    Pin 'em all while you're at it! That way you can pull up all your ideas easily.

      What a great collection of recipes to meal plan with. I really like using leftover ingredients to and revamping them into something new. It's fun!

      I am so with you on the whole leftovers thing! My husband always pokes fun at me, because he'd happily eat reheated leftovers every day for a week if he was left to his own devices, but I'm easily bored and don't like to eat the same thing twice. The only thing I make an exception for is chili... because, well, CHILI.
      Loving all the dishes you picked this week. Pretty sure most of them would be happily eaten up the first night. No leftovers to worry about. 🙂

      It's a rare day that even half of my kids will easy leftovers in the same form that they devoured them in the night before. Weirdos. So I am all about repurposing leftovers into something new.

        I concur, I purposely leave mine for the next day. It's so good that way, the flavours just build.

        I know right, I about passed out when I saw that photo.
