How to generate leftover recipes

  1. Type leftover chicken, cooked rice, extra vegetables, or pantry odds-and-ends.
  2. The generator suggests meals that use those leftovers first and names any missing staple.
  3. Open Recipe One to save the recipe, add it to a meal plan, and build a grocery list for only what you still need.
