What Do You Do With Leftover Fast Food/Takeout Items?

For Chinese, I make "leftover Chinese crockpot chicken." Take every packet of whatever you get - hot mustard, duck sauce, soy sauce, whatever, and put it over chicken (best if drumsticks, but other pieces are ok) and put in your crockpot all day.

I'm not a big fan of mustard or duck sauce, but I love this recipe!

LOs:

Saag (spinach Indian style) gets put into omelets.
Curries get eaten for lunch by me.
Rice (Indian or Asian) gets put into soups, under sauces or made into rice pudding - really good with the hint of savory Indian spices.

Sesame chicken goes into Impossible Pies with some chopped broccoli.
Garlic Butter Sauces get put in green beans and sauteed or poured over hot popcorn.
Pizza is breakfast (or lunch) the next day lol

This is what usually happens in our house. I wake up and they're gone.

Taco Bell sauce packets (i.e. mild, medium, hot, you know the ones I'm talking about). I use the mild, & when there are leftovers (we rarely get takeout) to mix w/mayo to use on chicken quesadillas (sp?). Dd had a friend who worked there for a time and when I asked what sauce they spread on the flour tortillas for the chicken quesadillas, she said mayo. I started opening mine after that & looking at the sauce and it had red specs in it, hence the sauce packets. Then I started making my own chicken quesadillas using the mayo/sauce spread. It makes the thing in my opinion. Don't know what to get in the jar at the grocery that exactly equals the sauce in the packet.

DH uses ketchup packets; dd uses the mustard packets & I spice with just about anything we have leftover.

I like mixing a packet of Arbys sauce and a packet of Arby's Horsey sauce together and using it with tatertots.

I keep all condiment packets and use them for whatever they're for.

Although I'm quite disappointed that KFC honey is not honey. phhhht as much as they charge for their food they could afford to give real honey. *rolling eyes*

But ya, butter, honey, ketchup, mayo, we save it all. Leftover meals just get eaten again as their original meal.
