Here are seven things to do with small amounts of leftover cooked vegetables:

1. Omelettes

2. Frittatas

3. Soups

4. Stews

5. Quiches

6. Quesadillas

7. Composed salads

Try not to overcook vegetables--generally add them toward the end just so they are heated through. With omelettes and frittatas, however, saute your leftover vegetables first, along with an aromatic (onion, garlic, or the like) if the leftover vegetable doesn't already include one or more. Then add eggs and cook until set to your liking.

Composed salads are becoming fast favorites in our household, and can be made with just about anything you have on hand. More on composed salads later!
