Leftovers 101: EAT THEM ALREADY!

September 2, 2011 by Amanda R DeWitt

Being in my current situation…no kiddos and no husband to feed, a Daddio who usually only eats popcorn, and the BF who I don’t have to cook for every night…I usually have lots of leftovers!   I find myself eating leftover enchiladas (I always try to spell that with two ‘l’s) and pizza days in a row…
