Between those take-out leftovers we forgot in the fridge and bread that went stale, it\u2019s sometimes easier to toss out what we deem as \u201cgone bad\u201d than to repurpose it. Especially if your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/\">lake house<\/a> is a second home, it can be difficult to remember what&#8217;s still in your pantry from your last visit. However, chronic food waste can be harmful on many accounts. First, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/recycle\/reducing-wasted-food-home\">94 percent<\/a> of the food we throw away ultimately ends up in combustion facilities or landfills, which are toxic for the environment. On an individual note, wasting food can make a dent both in our wallets and our free time. Especially during the current <a href=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/articles-and-news\/covid-19-and-lake-real-estate-difficult-times-require-dependable-partners\">COVID-19 pandemic<\/a>, we want to minimize trips to the grocery store and maximize our time at home, enjoying the lake views. Fortunately, there\u2019s plenty of easy and creative ways to try cooking with leftovers. Check out some of these tips on how to reduce food waste and maximize what&#8217;s in your fridge!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cook Lunch at Dinner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"980\" height=\"491\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Leftovers-Good-House-Keeping.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Leftovers-Good-House-Keeping.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Leftovers-Good-House-Keeping-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Leftovers-Good-House-Keeping-768x385.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodhousekeeping.com\/\">Good Housekeeping Magazine<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all know the feeling of opening the fridge, asking ourselves, \u201cwhat\u2019s that smell?\u201d and discovering week-old leftovers we\u2019d completely forgotten. Sometimes, the biggest culprit of food waste is not knowing what\u2019s in our fridge until it\u2019s gone bad. However, making a strategic plan for cooking with leftovers can minimize this waste. For example, when making dinner, if you have extra ingredients, try doubling the recipe. This way, you can plan to eat the leftovers for lunch the next day. Especially with many of us working from home right now, it\u2019ll make an easy workday lunch to heat up quickly in the microwave. While you\u2019re at it, be sure to invest in transparent Tupperware. It\u2019ll be harder to forget what\u2019s in your fridge when you can see it immediately! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make New Meals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"696\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Steak-salad-Taste-of-Home.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Steak-salad-Taste-of-Home.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Steak-salad-Taste-of-Home-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Steak-salad-Taste-of-Home-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Steak-salad-Taste-of-Home-144x144.jpg 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/balsamic-steak-salad\/\">TasteofHome.com<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, leftovers aren\u2019t as exciting the next day. It feels much more tempting to order from a restaurant than heat up something old. However, there are plenty of ways to make something completely new out of leftovers. For example, that leftover steak by itself may initially seem like boring deja vu. But what if you thinly sliced the surplus steak and added it to a salad? Or heated it on the stove and tossed it into a fajita with sauteed bell peppers? When the leftovers are repurposed, it\u2019s almost like ordering a whole new meal. It can also be fun to use some leftovers as breakfast items. While rice and beans may have been on last night\u2019s dinner plate, they can also be rolled into a breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs, cheese and sour cream.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Think Twice Before Throwing Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"826\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/banana-bread-Food-Network.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/banana-bread-Food-Network.jpeg 826w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/banana-bread-Food-Network-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/banana-bread-Food-Network-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/banana-bread-Food-Network-320x240.jpeg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 826px) 100vw, 826px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/recipes\/food-network-kitchen\/classic-banana-bread-3361704\">Food Network<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next time you open the trash lid to toss out something on the cusp of being \u201ctoo stale\u201d or \u201ctoo ripe,\u201d reconsider. Of course, you don\u2019t want to get a case of food poisoning. But you also don\u2019t want to throw out something too early. For instance, although brown bananas may no longer be acceptable in your morning oatmeal, they\u2019re perfect for a homemade smoothie. You can also use them in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipe\/20144\/banana-banana-bread\/\">banana bread recipe<\/a>. To make delicious, moist banana bread, it\u2019s essential for bananas to have a mushy texture. This same idea of reusing what\u2019s gone bad also applies to bread. When your bread has gone a bit stale, simply cut it into cubes, drizzle with olive oil, and make croutons for a salad or a French onion soup. Finally, if old foods are simply inedible, there might be another, non-nutrient purpose. For example, old lemons can be used to create a homemade cleaning solution. Especially as cleaning supplies are in high demand right now, this is a resourceful repurposing strategy. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Know What to Freeze<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"885\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frozen-vegetables-The-Spruce-Eats.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frozen-vegetables-The-Spruce-Eats.jpg 885w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frozen-vegetables-The-Spruce-Eats-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frozen-vegetables-The-Spruce-Eats-768x539.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/how-to-freeze-foods-3897631\">The Spruce Eats<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to cooking with leftovers, the freezer is your best friend. Most foods can be easily frozen to increase their lifespan significantly . Of course, there are certain foods you shouldn\u2019t freeze, such as eggs, soft cheeses, and fried food. But vegetables and fruit are fair game, and you can easily whip them out for a recipe and save a trip to the grocery store. You can also freeze tomato paste to use multiple times for soups and curry recipes. One particularly creative use of the freezer is making homemade vegetable stock. Don\u2019t want the end pieces on broccoli or asparagus? Before throwing them in the trash, throw them in the freezer. You can save up these discarded vegetable pieces to make a homemade vegetable stock that\u2019s better than store-bought. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Creative in the Kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"393\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ingredients-richlandsource.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ingredients-richlandsource.png 750w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ingredients-richlandsource-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.richlandsource.com\/thrive\/more-time-at-home-more-creative-time-with-recipes-in-the-kitchen\/article_eed8ad50-7821-11ea-82ed-d37659e7d88a.html\">Richlandsource.com<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the day, cooking with leftovers is all about creativity.
