NEW YEAR, NEW RECIPES W/ NYE LEFTOVERS :)

These next few days, you will open the fridge and find leftovers from the New Year’s Eve.

They are not enough for a meal by themselves and they give the “I am eating the leftovers” feeling if you try to eat them from the tiny plastic cups 🙂

So get them all out and create a masterpiece with them…

  • If you have any kind of meat pick the red meat (beef,lamb etc). If there is fish left, do not use it.
  • Poultry? Smell it first. If it is good, you can use it the next day.
  • Beef/lamb, if you immediately put the leftovers in the freezer, you can use it for the next 2 days.
  • Look out for the cooked or raw vegetables. If you did not put lemon/vinegar in them last night, you can use them for 2 days.
  • Potatoes/potato salad etc. is not recommended to be eaten as a leftover. Mashed potatoes, if you used cream or milk in it, should not be eaten either.
  • So, pick a kind of meat from the leftovers (you can use lamb/beef or paultry, but not together) and heat them a little with the leftover veggies. If you have fresh salad left (and without vinegar/lemon from previous day) you can add the salad to the plate after heating. Do not heat the salad 🙂
  • Lastly, you will need a nice and healthy sauce…

That will be very easy. I do not recommend using leftover sauces as they mostly include vinegar/lemon/mayonnaise etc which should be eaten right away. Always prepare sauces fresh!

Instead, use one or more of my recipes, which go well with both white and red meat.

1 teaspoon of

  • Apple Cider Vinegar

5. Sweet fruity sauce of Alex 

Goes well with leftover deserts. Gives creamy taste and removes dryness of leftover cakes.

1 or 2 tablespoons of:

  • Yoghurt
  • Red/blue berries, cherries, mashed pumpkins, sliced or mashed bananas etc. (If you have leaky gut, use very little fruit). You can boil them with little water in a small pot or use direcly. If you cook them with little water they will have more taste.

1 teaspoon of

  • Mint leaves (dried)
  • Lemon juice (fresh)
  • Coconut oil

Important tips & notes:

  • No milk, cream, mayonaisse, ketchup, mustard, cheese should be included. If you want to add cheese, add little and use goat cheese.
  • Do not use diet or low-fat yoghurt. They taste like nothing and the fat in yoghurt is not bad fat. Eat it 🙂
  • Use black cumin oil with turmeric or curry to replace mustard for red meat
  • Use yoghurt with black cumin oil to replace cream/mayonnaise
  • Use ginger instead of hot pepper
  • You can add 1 tablespoon of water in the sauces if you are using them on fresh green salad.
  • You can add your favorite seasonings
  • If you must (I don’t use any), you can add salt (maximum 1 teaspoon)
  • Use coconut oil for deserts and black cumin or olive oil for meals/salads. No other is accepted…
  • If you can, use probiotic yoghurt
  • You can use more of yoghurt but not more of oil 🙂

Do not waste the leftovers, with little effort you can make a nice meal with them today 🙂
