Save That Bread

Finally, you can get some herb-infused olive oil to dip the bread in as an appetizer. Bread is so useful and there’s no need to throw the leftover bread away!

Rice can be re-used as well. For example, if you have a great deal of rice left over you can make pudding or meatballs with it. Both rice and bread are great leftovers to have available for cooking. 

Got Lettuce?
