"What are we having for dinner tonight?"
"CORN!"
C O R N stands for Clean Out Refrigerator Night. You know all those well intentioned leftovers that you were going to have on some other night or for lunch the next day? CORN! You know that if you leave it in the refrigerator one more day it will be a science experiment gone bad? CORN!
CORN is the perfect way to, yes even sometimes, combine several night's leftovers into one healthy and hearty meal. Perhaps several separate dishes, reinvigorated with new spices, or a simple combination of two or three dishes in a stir fry pan.
For example, this morning, I took some rice from earlier in the week and some of the meat/bean/veggie combination from last night. I put them together in my cast iron pan and stirred them around, then broke a couple eggs over it and made beef and egg fried rice... bam! CORN for breakfast!
Another one. Left over spaghetti in one container from one night along with some chopped up veggies (perhaps leftover, perhaps just before the point where you need to toss it), thrown together in a pan with some olive oil and perhaps soy sauce and/or other seasonings... bam! CORN stir fry!
You can put just about anything between two pieces of bread... like a left over salad! bam! CORN sandwich!
Also, you can put cheese or bacon on just about anything and make it taste good. (Whoops, these are supposed to be healthy meal ideas... um... err... turkey bacon?)
Talk about being simple and quick, possibly even really healthy AND your refrigerator doesn't have to house a bunch of petri dishes and mold experiments. As an added bonus, no more wasted food!
My advice- have CORN once a week and you have a night off from cooking, plus everyone gets a quick meal that tastes similar to what you had on Tuesday, and you loved Tuesday's meal!
