Leftovers

Sunday night I stared into the fridge trying to figure out what I would cook. It had been a long weekend of slumber parties, taking care of a week old infant over night, laying floors in a house in Hillcrest(trying to get it ready to put on the market), needless to say my creative juices were lacking. The fridge held very few ingredients...then like a giant enlightened puzzle piece the meal came together...mushrooms and broccoli from the left over stir-fry, Chinese left overs from Friday night, a half used bag a dry pasta and an open package of frozen tater tots.....my idea was captured!

I started with the Chinese leftovers(Shrimp with Lobster* sauce), it was pretty much sauce since little hands kept sneaking in the kitchen and picking out the shrimp.





                               De-stemmed the leftover mushrooms

                                                                               
Stuffed with left over sauce



Crumbled fried wontons from soup over the top and
baked at 350 for about 15min





Served with broccoli and pasta with a side of tater tots....yummy leftover dinner!



                 P.S. Dark Chocolate Almond Milk in delicious in coffee!
