It's two days later and you're still tucking into turkey and snacking on sprouts. If you can't even look at another turkey sandwich right now then why not give Love Food Hate Waste a go.

They have set up a fantastic little way to help you use up all your leftovers with some fun recipes. And the best bit of all is that it's tailored to you. Just click on the foods you have piled up in your fridge and it will sling you a recipe.

If your guests are starting to leave, wrap up some food and send it with them. The choice of pretending it's because you want to share rather than just wanting to see the back of it is optional.

Cant face another sprout right now? Why not try freezing your leftovers and giving them another go in a week or three when you've had a chance to miss them! Pre-cooked veggies go great in pasta dishes, soups and stews. Lovely, hearty meals for the cold months of January and February.

Don't forget your pets. You might not be able to stomach another roast potato but there's a four legged friend down there who is always ready to snap them up.

If you have a wormery then you can offload a few cooked veggies their way too. Unlike compost you can feed worms cooked food. Just remember to cut it up small, they only have tiny mouths.

However you end up finishing off your leftovers this Christmas, we hope you had a wonderful time with some delicious food and fabulous company. And if you're thinking 'leftovers? What leftovers?' then it's only a few days until you promise yourself you'll work all those mince pies off!
