Extend those leftovers!

We went out to eat for my husbands b-day, one of the few occasions the kids (ok young adults) will come with us.

We went to Peppinos which is a great Italian Family Restaurant.  I ordered the Angel Hair with garlic, oil and tomatoes and added mushrooms, my husband had the chicken parm (as usual), my kids ordered the rigatoni and a calzone.

My plate was huge!!! I swear I ate it all and when I looked down it was still there!!  So I had them box it up to go, my son also had a piece of his calzone left, it was huge also.

He ate his calzone for breakfast the next day.  I had 1/2 of my plate the next day for dinner and then since we bbq'd the night before, I had chicken left over so I cut up a piece of chicken and added it to my angel hair and had a nice lunch for work.

I basically got 3 meals out of 1, not bad for 9.95!

So, don't leave that "little" bit at the restaurant, take it home, add some items from the fridge and WALA a nice tasty meal at little to no cost!
