My goal is to help you pay for these cooking classes by saving you at least that much in your food budget everyday.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/IvSE0wVsihA\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>Previously, we\u2019ve talked about saving food in purchasing, storing, and portioning<\/strong> to get the greatest effect if you\u2019re cooking on a budget. But, many of these skills take time to develop and perfect. If you\u2019re not cooking like a chef at home yet, the likelihood is that you have some over-purchasing, over-cooking, or over-portioning that has lead to leftovers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How you use your leftovers can make a great impact on your everyday cooking budget<\/strong>, but there are few recipes that you can find dealing specifically with leftovers when cooking at home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s where you need basic cooking methods to be able to create something<\/strong> regardless of what the ingredients are. Our online cooking classes concentrate on the basic methods behind cooking that will empower you to create great meals from any of the ingredients you have on hand. This is especially useful when preparing something from the result of your everyday cooking leftovers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For the best use of leftovers, try to keep ingredients separate <\/strong>before presentation. For example, cook a chicken breast and then top it with sauce, one plate at a time. This way, if you have leftover chicken, it doesn\u2019t have tomato sauce on it and can be made into chicken salad for lunch the next day. Or, it can be shredded and rolled into a tortilla for a burrito, but it won\u2019t taste like last night\u2019s chicken.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can even plan your leftovers in advance. <\/strong> Using the knowledge of your family\u2019s portions, let\u2019s say you purposely cook \u00bd pound of shrimp more than you need for tonight\u2019s dinner. You set this over-cooking aside, prepared to make shrimp salad or shrimp tacos tomorrow evening. This not only saves time, but money also by making two satisfying meals, rather than one over-portioned meal and some leftovers that are discarded later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When you&#8217;re cooking at home everyday and you&#8217;re left with leftovers,<\/strong> or have even planned for leftovers, HOW you treat the food afterward can double your savings and protect your cooking budget.<\/p>\n<p>Related Posts:<br \/>\n<a title=\"Can't Cook On a Budget?
