Innovation/Repetition

So in an attempt to deal creatively with yet more leftovers, I ended up going the same path - I turned the leftover tomato-chick pea soup into Tex-Mex enchiladas, same as I did with the leftover sauerbraten meat. Soup into enchiladas? you may well ask - I strained the soup, combined the tomato chunks, sautéed onions, and parsley with grated cheese (a combo of feta, fresh mozzarella, peppashire- English cheddar with peppadews, and regular cheddar, a.k.a. a blend of all the little hunks of cheese in the back of the cheese drawer) and used that for the enchilada filling. Then I used the broth for liquid to cook Spanish rice in, additionally managing to further clean out the fridge by adding the inner stalks, the part of a bunch celery that had been in the vegetable drawer, and some turkey broth I had thawed to make the soup in the first place, and that little baggie of extra chopped parsley, also left from the original soup.

Even though I feel like a broken record, the kids ate up all the rice and enchiladas for lunch yesterday, so that is some kind of success.
