Monday Blog: What Is Your Favorite Leftover Food?

Lots of leftovers make it to our fridge, as probably they do to yours. I believe my favorite leftover, though, has to be pizza, whether heated or just served cold straight from the fridge. Maybe it's a holdover from my student or my early working days. Pizza the next day just seems to taste good. I don't eat pizza with pepperoni on it anymore, but that definitely added to the good taste. Veggie pizzas are also delicious with peppers, tomatoes, onions, and other goodies on them. Or perhaps the congealed cheese is what makes the old pizza so enjoyable. We just ate some this weekend, a large pizza we ordered at Z Pizza, a franchise that seems to be popping up around the neighborhoods. Anyways, that's my story on the leftover foods, and I'm sticking with it.

Chili gets my vote, too!

I remember Wonder bread from when I was a kid growing up in rural Virginia. Thanks for sharing.
