How to Use Leftovers

By: hazel | Posted: 03rd April 2007

Detoxifying the body has become an apparent key preventetive measure to all kind's of health problems. Since most of us are busy, and unable or unwilling to maintain a strict diet in order to completely eliminate all the toxins from our bodie. We have chemicals building up in our bodiess day after day. Since these chemicals are not harmful in small amounts, only in larger accumulated amounts, we don't notice side effects until we are much older.



Managing leftovers is a challenge we all face! Throwing food away is just like throwing money away. With a little time,organization and using a little ingenuity, leftovers can be dealt with efficiently.



Be sure to refrigerate leftovers promptly and use them within one or two days or freeze. If you have any doubt about whether a food is still safe to eat, throw it out!



Keep your leftovers in a section of your fridge that you designate only for leftovers. Then it's easy to see what you have.



Leftover meat like roast beef, turkey or chicken can easily be used in sandwiches for tomorrow's lunch. Or it can be chopped, frozen and used in a casserole later in the week.

Leftover ham makes great ham salad or you can use it to make ham and bean soup.



Leftover onions, green peppers can be chopped and sealed in zipper-top bags and kept in the freezer. It's economical and time-saving, too. Next time you need chopped onions, just pull a bag out of the freezer!



Leftover bread can be used to make bread pudding. If your family doesn't eat the heels of a loaf of bread, keep a bag in the freezer and add the heels until you have enough.



Favorite Bread Pudding



* 3 cups soft bread crumbs




Substances that are potentially toxic to our bodies are everywhere. Pollution, petroleum based products, pesticides and other compounds are harmful to our bodies. Our organs, including the colon and liver, are responsible for removing the toxins and waste materials from our bodies. But when these organs aren't functioning up to standard we become tired, break out and have digestive problems. More serious illnesses may result.



* 2 cups milk, scalded with 1/4 cup butter



* 1/2 cup sugar



* 2 eggs, slightly beaten



* 1 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg



Place bread crumbs in a 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Stir remaining ingredients together and pour over bread crumbs, mixing well.



Place baking dish in pan of hot water (water should be about 1" deep) and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 40 - 45 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a knife 1 inch from edge - it should come out clean.



Delicious warm!



Bread can also be used to make croutons. Just cut the bread into cubes. Toss with melted butter, seasoned salt, parmesan cheese, and whatever other seasonings you like. Bake in a 300 degree oven till the cubes are golden brown.



Use these croutons to top salads or casseroles or even as a snack.



If you have leftover mashed potatoes, besides the obvious potato cakes, try this: Fry an egg and serve over a warm mound of mashed potatoes. Makes a different kind of supper.



Make a meal from leftovers seem special by adding homemade rolls or biscuits. Or serve along with a family favorite side dish or salad.



'They take great pride in making their dinner cost much;
Detox diets vary, but they typically advise restriction of the diet to raw vegetables, fruit, water and yoghurt




I take my pride in making my dinner cost so little.'



The process of drug detox isn't complicated by any means. It is an automatic process which the body does constantly to cleanse itself. Your body, at some rate at least, is detoxifying itself right now.
