Healthy alternatives to holiday leftovers
After the holidays, do you find yourself stuck with a refrigerator full of leftovers? Here are some helpful tips:
-If food was left out of the refrigerator for more than two hours it is susceptible to harmful bacteria – toss it.
-Use leftover meats to make soups, salads or low-fat snacks or meals. For example, use fat-free or low-fat mayonnaise for a leftover turkey sandwich.
-Another idea is to use egg substitute or egg whites for a ham or turkey omelet. Throw in some colorful veggies and a sprinkle of low-fat cheese for added flavor.
-Leftovers should be tossed a day or two after the meal for safety.
Enjoy!
