"I can't stand leftovers," says Brian, 41, who fends for himself when his wife Jill announces that dinner will be a repeat. "That's my cue to bring home something from the pizza place or grab something on the way out of work because for the most part you're getting last night's pork chops." Their four kids are equally unenthusiastic. "If I try and recycle the same meal for the next day they will push the food around, they'll complain," laments Jill, who hates wasting food and wants to be economical.

"I personally love the leftovers," says Rachael, because they're perfect for John's lunch and for a little midnight munching. She's also got a solution for Jill, and is taking ingredients that are often leftover in her house to create a whole new dish that's perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. See how last night's pasta can be transformed into Frittata Pizza!
