Cafeteria Night aka Clean out the Fridge aka Leftovers

At least once a month, depending on the size of your family and the quantity of food in your meals, you'll need a night to serve up the leftovers.  My mom always called it Cafeteria Night which gave the meal the aura of choice.  I usually incorporate one Leftover Night on my monthly menu although it may shift depending our calendar and the meals served.

However, with college-aged kids that come and go at unusual hours, I have taken the liberty of assigning leftovers to each individual.  Long ago, at a scrapbooking convention, I purchased cardboard letters corresponding to the first name of each of my children.  In hindsight, I am so glad we chose names that do not share the same first letter.   So, I simply put out the container and place their letter on it.  Or maybe it will be a stack of smaller containers to make a meal.  You'll see that I've also labeled the broccoli since I'll be out when they come home tonight.  It's a system that works
and no, my kids do not take each others meals.  :)

For tonight's version, each person is getting a different main entree, but all are getting fresh, steamed broccoli spears, and Banana Cake which used the browning bananas on my counter, for dessert.  I'll post Lyla's cake recipe soon.
