And with a Christmas food bill averaging \u00a3169 per household that&#8217;s a lots of food and money wasted!\n\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.livingwithkids.co.uk\/smart-ways-to-use-your-festive-leftovers\/pudding\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6616\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6616\" title=\"pudding\" src=\"http:\/\/www.livingwithkids.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/pudding.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a>\n\nI&#8217;ve never been a leftover kind of person, but this year I&#8217;m on a mission to change. (1) To save money (2) to save waste and (3) because I am sure there is more you can do to leftovers besides warm them up in the mircowave. So I am loving the tips from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.co.uk\/search?client=safari&amp;rls=en&amp;q=love+food+hate+waste&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;redir_esc=&amp;ei=S5jRUNreFqXK0QWZ24HYBw\">Love Food Hate Waste <\/a>who\u00a0suggest:\n\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cooked meat like turkey and ham can be frozen (as long as it wasn&#8217;t frozen to begin with) so if on Boxing Day you have lots left over, pop it in the freezer and then thaw it in the fridge when you fancy making a casserole, curry,\u00a0 stew or ham, turkey and leek pie.\n\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sick of Christmas pudding? Try turning it into a tasty strudel.\n\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Loads of sprouts and roasties leftover? Use them with leftover roast or boiled potatoes to make bubble and squeak. Simply chop or fry together in a pan with some butter.\n\n5. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Use up satsumas with this quick pudding. Peel and place the whole fruits in an oven proof dish, sprinkle with a little ground cinnamon, spoon over a tablespoon of Cointreau or whisky and sprinkle with soft brown sugar. Cover and bake in the oven at 180\u00b0C (350\u00b0F) mark 4 for 40 minutes serve with cream, yoghurt or ice cream.\n\nTips from friends include stir frying the left over turkey the next day with vegetables and noodles, not buying mince pies (does anyone really love them?) and definitely making bubble and squeak for breakfast. I also love the idea of making left over Christmas pudding into a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbcgoodfood.com\/recipes\/1826685\/christmas-pudding-trifle\">festive trifle<\/a>\u00a0(see picture above), which even the kids, who hate Christmas pud love to eat.\n\nSo what about you? What treats do you serve up with leftovers?
