Has your family ever sat down to the dinner table and said, “Oh, no, Mom not 1 I11S
again!” Leftovers from Sunday dinner needn t bring comments like this from tin*
teenage daughter, the growing son, or the man of the house. They can be the makings
of tasty dishes when you use imagination and planning.
Most of us hope to get more than one meal from Sunday’s roast — lx* it beef,
ham, veal or pork. It’s more economical and can often save the homemaker precious
minutes of preparation time later during the week. You’ll have to agree, however, that
a roast simply reheated and carved, meal after meal, can be tiresome by Tuesday. It
needn’t be! With inventiveness and a deft touch you can create planned over dishes
that are even better than the original. A good rule of spoon is to remember to add
something new to the leftover in preparing the main dish for another day’s meal. The
following recipes are designed to give you guideposts to new uses and ideas for
MAKING THE MOST OF MEAT.
