When Mrs BamaVol and I were married ages ago, someone gave us a cookbook called, I think, Cooking for Two. It got a lot of use until kids came along. With 4 kids at home over a 10+ year period, there was no such thing as leftovers the next day. Anything put in the fridge after dinner would be gone by the following night. Now that we're down to the last kid, I've pulled out the book. It's been a somewhat difficult transition and I tend to cook too much still. Besides, it's more difficult to purchase food in small sizes - especially when some of the stores are moving away from service and toward bulk pre-packs that are inconveniently sized.

The book is pretty basic stuff, beginner info and recipes. But, I do like the focus on making big purchases and "Sunday dinners" and then making something different out of the leftovers. Buy a ham and make ham and cheese supper bread the next night. Buy an eye of the round and make roast beef in onion vinegar the next night and roast beef hash the next. I love picking a turkey or roaster chicken carcass apart and making open faced sandwiches with hot gravy.

Anybody got favorite leftover recipes?
