That sounds wonderful + healthy too! Lots of good efforts on this thread.

The last time I was happy with something like this, I had some leftover ribs. The kids didn't like them because they were not soft and "fall off the bone", but were a little tough. So I took the ribs, deboned, shredded, and poached them in beef stock with an extra half onion and some baby carrots from the vegetable bin, then made a gravy from some leftover Korean BBQ sauce, added some frozen broccoli and made a box of instant mash potatoes and we had Korean BBQ shepherd's pie. The whole family loved it much better than the original ribs and I salvaged what was an unsuccessful purchase!
Very nice!

Well done, OP.
I’ve gotten quite good at reinventing leftovers and finishing up stuff too.

Score! I always feel a little like super woman when I turn odds and ends into a delicious meal. Wasting food drives me crazy.

I was too lazy to go to the story, so I googled what I could make from what I had. I had lots of frozen shrimp, so I thawed some + made shrimp cakes. Plus, I had a Jiffy cornbread mix. Made that + also roasted some potatoes + made a salad. It was delish + cheap.
