Leftover .......?.......

[ORChick]

Oddly enough, although Irish boarding school ruined me for several food categories, shepherd's pie was not one of them. I liked the version the school cooks (I use the term loosely ) made, and I like my own. However, DH does not, so we don't have it very often.
Potato pancakes with mashed potatoes are great, and I make them fairly often.
So, what do you do with other leftovers? I just made a white (chicken) chili with the rest of the roast chicken, which went over well. It seems that a lot of people use up leftovers by piling them in a baking dish, and covering them with cheese - Hmmm ... sounds good to me . Unfortunately, my poor deluded DH doesn't eat cheese duc), so that isn't an option I can follow. He also has totally different food memories than I do ... so comfort food for him does not equate to what I think of in that category. I've learned to adapt over 38 years, but I still sometimes feel like . He likes to try new things, just not too new. No that's not right. New is good. Leftovers (obvious leftovers) are not so good. I think it has something to do with growing up in post war Germany, at a time when food was still kind of scarce.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Leftover potatoes? That just means I didn't cook enough steaks. I guess I'd have to make one more to go with the taters.

I made it, shepherds pie, with cubed deer steaks last night. I also had run out of cream of mushroom soup, so I had to make my own. It turned out pretty good.

Freeze it! or make Lefse. Looks like a flour tortilla, but tastes better. Add enough flour to the leftover mashed potatoes to make a dough. Roll them out, plop them on a dry griddle, turn when light brown spots appear. Butter 'em up and eat, or tear and eat with soups, etc.

Our version of sheppard's pie uses beef, and then frozen veggies, and then is topped with creamed cauliflower instead of mashed tatos. Gives it a really unique flavor and isn't quite as heavy as the potato version. We're trying to go lower carb, and that works pretty well!

Can I get your creamed cauliflower recipe?
