A Recipe Challenge!

I am NOT a fan of leftovers and rarely eat them. I do however take the food I make and try to come up with something new. So my challenge for you is to figure out how to make something new with your leftovers. Post the original recipe here and then your altered recipe under that. All recipes must be healthy and within some diet plan.

Tomorrow for dinner:

Chicken Noodles

rotisserie chicken boiled down with bones removed and meat picked clean
no yolk egg noodles
organic chicken stock
3 low sodium chicken bouillon cubes

Boil chicken off the bones and reserve meat. Boil noodles in stock and bouillon until almost done. Add chicken back and continue to boil until noodles are as you like them. Serve with choice of veggie. I mash up a small potato with light margarine to serve under it.

What a great idea!!

I often make a tomato based veggie mince sauce for pasta (passata, garlic, mushrooms, veg stock, veggie mince, onions) and then the next day i will use the leftovers and add red kidney beans and chilli powder to make a chilli sauce to go with rice.

The leftover oatmeal bars are quite interesting. Here is the recipe. Tweak it as you like.

Sinnamon Chocolate Oat Bars

2 cups of cooked plain oatmeal
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp peanut butter
1/8 c. brownie mix
1/5 c. applesauce
1 large egg

Preheat oven at 350 degrees.

Mix all ingredients together. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Turn ingredients out into 5 separate piles. Spray hands with cooking spray and form oat piles into bars. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool and serve.

Each bar is

189 cals
31 carbs
5 g fat
6 g protein

Note: I think this would be better with a honey glaze baked in like they do with granola bars. Also I would like this to be dryer like an oatmeal bar. Perhaps turning it after 20 mins and letting the other side crisp up would accomplish this. Im sure I will have leftover oatmeal again at some point.
