Yesterday we made a barbecued a chicken on the grill that turned out delicious.  We had so much leftover and sometimes we don’t want to eat just the chicken. So I told my husband, I would find a way to eat the leftovers in different ways. So tonight we had a homemade pesto chicken pizza. It was so awesome! I love pesto. So when you combine pesto with bread, you are in for a real treat.

Check out how amazing the pizza looked:

I have never been a big fan of leftovers.  Maybe it’s because I was used to just reheating it and serving it the same that you ate it the night before.  It must have been food boredom. So I am trying to realize the importance of leftovers. Most of the time I put the leftovers safely in a Tupperware and then to the refrigerator.  Then I make my husband take the plain leftovers to work for lunch the next day.

I think it kind of hit me when I realized how much money we could save by reusing leftover food. We are trying to budget out grocery bill more and this is a perfect opportunity. Sometimes we run out to the grocery store on work nights and end up dropping $30! So many times I wonder, how did we just spend that?!?! So hopefully by enjoying leftovers more often, I can help us save some money!

So stayed tuned tomorrow for leftovers in the form of chicken Panini sandwiches!
