Hints from Heloise

Dear Readers: Do you wind up with leftover cooked vegetables at the end of the week? Here are some delicious ideas for leftover vegetables:

“Think of them as the original precooked convenience food, and by adding some freshly browned onions or garlic, you’ll have a new dish your family will love.

“Heat up a can of broth or make some beef, chicken or vegetable bouillon; add spices and let all those veggies simmer until hot, and you’ll have a fast and healthy vegetable soup.

“Mix leftover chilled, already-cooked veggies with salad dressings or sandwich spreads, or just arrange them on top of lettuce and add your favorite dressing.

“Cut or dice leftover potatoes, brown them with some onion and add eggs or egg substitute for a hearty breakfast or light supper. You can add diced red or green pepper or top with salsa.
