Leftover creamed peas, chili, or broccoli and cheese can make a great topping for a baked, or boiled, potato. I used to make a small pan of creamed peas just for lunch. While the peas were cooking I put some potatoes, with their peels still on, in water to boil in another pan. When the potatoes were done, I would cut them open lengthwise, spread about 1/2 teaspoon butter on the now open sides, then top with a few tablespoons of the creamed peas. Nice and filling while a great break from soups or sandwiches for that particular time of day.

If you have a cup to 1/2 a cup of leftover cooked rice - mix it in with your favorite meat loaf or meat balls recipe. Yummy and one less leftover in the fridge!
