- Omelets or frittatas: Eggs are a great base for using up veggies and cheese. Dice any leftover vegetables you have (bell peppers, onions, spinach, tomatoes, etc.), add in cheese and seasonings and cook it all together in a pan or bake in the oven.
- Stir fry: Slice and stir fry whatever vegetables, meat and tofu you have on hand. Serve over rice or noodles and top with soy sauce, sesame oil and spices. Great for using up small amounts of lots of different ingredients.
- Soup or stew: Combine diced vegetables, beans, broth and spices in a pot and simmer until the veggies are tender. Potato, corn and carrot work great. You can also add rice, pasta or meat if you have them. Season with herbs and spices.
- Quesadillas or burritos: Warm tortillas, add in cheese, spices and any diced veggies, beans or meat. Fold up the tortilla around the filling and cook in a pan with oil for a few minutes per side until the cheese is melted.
- Pasta primavera: Toss cooked pasta with olive oil, parmesan cheese and steamed or sauteed veggies like zucchini, carrots, broccoli and tomatoes. Fresh basil and Italian seasoning provide lots of flavor.
