Whenever we go to restaurants, it seems like such a waste to throw away all of those bread sticks or rolls that they give you. Often their servings are so large, we end up with 5 to 6 leftover. Here is a recipe that uses those bread sticks or rolls. If you don't have the bread sticks, simply substitute torn up bread pieces. If you don't have leftover pasta salad, use leftover or fresh cooked pasta. To make this recipe a complete meal, add cooked chicken and serve a salad on the side. Enjoy!

I made a Bacon-Wrapped Pork Loin on Valentine's Day for my little family, my parents and my brother. It was huge! We had about 1/2 of it left. So last night's dinner was a dish made with leftover pork loin and tonight's will be too. Growing up, my mom used to make a great beef stroganoff. It wasn't fancy, but it was really good. She made it with hamburger, but since we had so much pork leftover, I made a version of it with pork. We had some friends over for dinner last night and they seemed to really enjoy it. I hope your family does too!
