Leftover meals from the holidays can be used in a leftover party or donated to local food pantries.

Leftovers after a huge holiday meal are typical, but there are a few different ways to utilize the extra food this season. 

Try out a different recipe. Do some research on alternative ways to incorporate classic foods.

Freezing certain foods for future use is a great way to keep the foods preserved for down the road. 

Donating leftovers to a local shelter or organization can be both beneficial to those receiving the food and the person donating. 

Hosting a leftover party can be an inexpensive way to gather with friends and have a wide variety of options from different parties. It can also be a good way to meet up with friends you may not have seen for some time.

Relax and enjoy the Holidays and make the most of the food prepared by everyone’s hard work.
