Batch cooking, or cooking more than one meal’s worth of food, is a great way to cut down on your time cooking (and washing dishes).

One of my favorite time saving strategies, now more than ever, is to reinvent your leftovers. With these meals you make enough food for two meals at once, but you actually serve it in 2 different ways.

Below are some ways to reinvent your leftovers.
