I needed to shred leftover roast for pulled-pork enchiladas. Instead of using two forks to shred the meat by hand, I used my KitchenAid to compete the task in seconds!

Keeping the grocery budget low & eliminating waste is important in our household. Oftentimes that means Planned Leftovers. But sometimes it’s just making Fast Food by reworking leftovers into a brand new dish.
When it’s time to plan a meal I typically look at what I have to be used and build a meal around those things. That way there’s no food waste. And if I’m using leftovers, the bulk of the meal has already been cooked. All that’s left is to do is to think outside the box and use a little leftover magic. Bibbidy-Bobbidy-BOO – let’s see what we can do!

I take the scrap dough from homemade biscuits & make a small pan of cinnamon rolls. They bake right alongside my biscuits and offer us an extra treat with breakfast!

I love Planned Leftovers. Especially pulled pork BBQ sandwiches because it’s so quick & easy yet so delicious. Looking for a quick meal with precious little hands-on time? Check out this homestead hack for leftover roast.

I cooked a huge pork roast & made easy enchiladas the next night with the leftover meat! Planned leftovers is an important part of meal planning in my Homestead kitchen.

I like to cook with planned leftovers in mind. Recently I cooked up a huge pork roast in a slow cooker. Come see the many dishes I have planned with that one roast.

Recently I was trying to chop some purple onions for the freezer. I had so many of them and used as many as I could fresh.
But I also wanted to make sure they didn’t go bad before I could use them all. Plus it’s so nice to have chopped onions as close as my freezer to simply toss into any recipe.
As I was trimming those tough neck parts & the hard-to-chop dense section on the bottom where the roots once were, I paused before I tossed the wasted parts into my compost bucket.
There might still be a way to put these wasted parts to good use…
