We didn’t feel like cooking tonight and agreed to tackling our leftovers in the fridge. I chose tamales and made a quick chopped salad with a bit of cranberry to sweeten it up just a touch.

I rifled through the fridge and found my first leftover meal of the new year, chili! I poured a hearty serving into my extra-large coffee/soup mug I received for Christmas, and I popped that bad boy into the microwave. A few minutes later, the steamy dish of delicacy was ready. All I needed was to add a little bag of Fritos at the suggestion of my family.
