I've been trying to use up odd bits and pieces from the fridge and
freezer over the last few days.

Sunday night dinner: I diced a leftover baked potato and browned it
in olive oil and butter. Then I added some leftover takeout salsa and
cooked most of the liquid out. Next I added maybe a third of a bag of
baby spinach and cooked it down. I pushed the veggie mix over to the
side of the pan and scrambled some eggs in the open space. Then I
mixed everything together and topped it all with shredded cheese. We
enjoyed it with buttered toast.

Monday night dinner: I thawed out some leftover pot roast and gravy
and mixed it with canned green peas and heated it through in a pie
pan. I topped the mixture with biscuit dough and baked it until the
crust was golden brown. This potpie was really tasty and comforting
on a gray, rainy day. We ate half and we'll have the other half
tomorrow night.

Pot roast pot pie! What a good idea. I sometimes have trouble selling
leftover pot roast, but I think this would do the trick. My kids like
anything with biscuit dough baked on top. :-)

Thanks for the inspiration, Tara!

I hope you and the family like it! It's a good use for any leftover
bits and pieces of meat and veggies. If you are short on gravy, you
can use white sauce or cream soup.
