Creative recipes for Leftovers

Cheepcooking.com is an amazing idea source for leftover food inspiration.  The website has several creative ideas for leftover food on their website http://www.cheapcooking.com/articles/more-ways-with-leftovers.htm

Although that is a great place to get started and has taught me a great deal, I would like to add a few ideas of my own:

Leftover spaghetti noodles and Sauce:   You can cook these together for a great freeze ahead meal of baked spaghetti or use them separately.  If you don't want to freeze your leftovers the noodles can make a lovely pasta salad or be used as stir fry noodles which are both great ideas for lunch or supper.  The sauce can also be used as a pizza sauce or re-flavored to serve as sloppy joe or taco sauce. 

Leftover sandwich bread: I love to use leftover bread as a pizza crust, in grilled cheese sandwiches, in freeze ahead or ready to eat french toast or in homemade croutons.  You can find these and other recipes on the web by doing a quick google search.
