My kids often refuse to eat leftovers so I have to get crafty. Heck, sometimes I’m not even thrilled about eating leftovers. I’ve developed a knack for turning leftovers into lasagna using a few base ingredients. I always see great responses when I post the pics on my Facebook page so I figured it’s time to write a post about it!

This post may seem complicated because I listed off all the options but it’s really easy! Just use up whatever leftovers you have, add some sauce and veggies and WALAH!!!! 🙂

I’ve made this a few times and the kids always love it. There are so many different variations of this dish so get creative! You can make this with or without the spinach and tomato addition. A few people said they used the leftovers as dip! I used it (in my next post) for Leftovers Lasagna! Enjoy!

Raw Chocolate Avocado Pudding

This pudding is AMAZING! Both of my kids refuse to eat avocados and often balk at their green smoothies so I needed a new way to hide avocados. The first time I made this, I had to put it in the fridge and force myself to walk away. It’s dangerously good!

I apologize for the terrible picture but trust me, you’ll understand why I didn’t have time to set up and take a good one when you taste it! I was preoccupied!

Almond Pulp Hemp Breakfast Cookies

I love making breakfast cookies for the kids! They’re so easy and make the best leftovers, perfect for mornings I’m in a hurry or don’t feel like cooking. Plus they’re perfect traveling! I usually make these Healthy Breakfast Cookies but my kids are sick of them. Time for something new!

These are a perfect way to use your leftover almond pulp! These “cookies” aren’t super sweet like traditional cookies but they are delicious and filling! They are fragile yet dense, probably because of the almond pulp. Both of my kids love these! I wasn’t sure at first but found myself eating a few today!

After baking them I stored them in the fridge, reheated them in the toaster oven the next day. I saved a bit of the “dough” to spread on sprouted muffins for the kids.
