Sunday Supper ~ Comfort Foods Interacting

There are times when using left overs make you feel good about the world.
How? When left overs become comfort foods, you just feel good inside because you know that you wisely used what you had to make something new. By recycling, by reconstituting, by re-creating things including food, you save the environment, you save time and energy and you feel like you have thus contributed to the good of society.

Having some left over au jus from a previous meal, I decided to make Swiss Steak. I first sauteed chopped onion in  3 tbs of olive oil, I then added some fresh lean top round steak sliced length wise.

Once the steak and onions were brown, in went the au jus. To that, I added one small can of tomato paste. This simmered for 30 mins. In the meantime, I boiled potatoes, and microwaved left over farfalle pasta turning it into mac and cheese.

There was bit of left over slaw from yesterday which made a perfect salad side.
