Hello once again loves! This is the third installment of my Electrolux PH's #DoMoreWithLess blog post series. Let me just tell you that I love doing this because I like sharing a few practical mommy hacks I do in our busy humble kitchen. If you missed the other two previous helpful posts on meal planning, you may find them HERE and HERE.
Now, what I would like to share with you are my simple tips on how to successfully disguise leftover food, and actually make the picky eaters eat them! Haha! I know you could definitely relate to this because most of the time, picky eaters don't like eating the same dish or menu for two consecutive meals or even days. When this happens, we say hello to food waste, and we don't want to add to the daily household trash in Metro Manila. Did you know that out of 5,600 tons of trash everyday, 75% comes from household and 50% of the household trash comes from food. Sad no? That's why Electrolux came up with a campaign to raise awareness of this alarming concern and encourage moms to be resourceful at home, in the kitchen to help improve the food wastage situation. With this, I would like to share with you some practical tips on making our picky eaters eat some leftovers.

How To Successfully Disguise Leftover Food
- Make "it" (disguising the food) part of your meal planning. -I've always had an experience with my family having leftover food. So I make it part of my meal planning, such a contingency plan just in case there will be lots of left over food. I plan it well. I think this way: "If I cook Sauteed Ground Pork with Veggies and have some leftover, into what other menu I can turn it to?" There are lots of other recipes I could disguise my left over ground pork. Examples would be: Omelette, Almondigas Soup, Italian Spaghetti, Sweet and Sour Meatballs, Fried Meat Balls with dip, and the list goes on.
