Try making a grain bowl to get rid of a variety of leftovers in one dish.

According to Leslie Stephens, writing on Food52, here are the elements you need for your grain bowl.

This is also the order you should add them to your bowl, starting from the bottom layer.

A grain: Anything from rice leftover from Chinese takeout to polenta.

Vegetables: Raw leafy greens or other cooked veggies work here.

Leftover roasted vegetables work really well because they go with almost anything.

Cover one half to three quarters of the grain layer with your chosen veggies.

For a meatless route, try cheese, a poached egg, tofu, or tempeh.

See what you have in your cabinets and fridge, then mix together something tasty!

Some options you probably have handy include: toasted nuts, fresh herbs, breadcrumbs, and pickled veggies.

Do a little meal planning and keep your fridge free of lingering leftovers bydoing a nightly fridge cleaning.
