Jorj Morgan, author of "You Can Cook Any Thing," says there are very simple tips to keep in mind to reuse and be mindful of leftovers so food and money don't go to waste.
For hot dogs or any type of sausage, puff pastries can be used to wrap around the meat and bake so that you have a "pigs in a blanket"-style treat the next day for adults or kids. Leftover cookies can be repurposed using ice cream to make ice cream sandwiches, which can be wrapped up and frozen for a dessert later on.
Leftover onions and tomatoes can be blended up with other vegetables and peppers to make a salsa to be eaten with chips or used as a condiment.
Morgan says the key is finding ways to incorporate leftovers into your dishes later in the week. Leftover bread, for example, can be dried out and lightly toasted on a low heat in the oven and then blended up in a food processor to make bread crumbs to be used in the days that follow the holiday.
