I am going to re purpose my chicken from last night, my partner and I are famous for saving food and not eating it the next day or within the time she deems it bad..(usually within 48 hours). So tonight I am going to make a healthy version of a hamburger helper. Chicken Cheese Stroganoff. I have not worked out the details so I will get those together and post them later. I just think it is important to reuse leftovers and plan meals better for your family.  According to the Environmental Protection Agency, food leftovers are the single-largest component of the waste stream by weight in the United States (SoSA, 2011). Some states and counties are now using composting to help with this and adding it to yard waste, some individuals are composting on their own, but the thing is most the food you can eat again and just either don't want to or forget. Best way to do this is use it the next day in a completely new recipe, changing the taste and look.
