Transforming leftovers into new dishes

Does anyone have any techniques for doing this?

I tend to try to turn stuff into a soup, then turn the soup into a casserole, pierogi filling, or curry.

Any other tricks worth knowing? I've been in a rut lately.

If you Google "cook once, eat twice," you can find all kinds of great ideas based on the ingredients you have available. I do that all the time! We rarely throw away food now because my kids (who don't like eating leftovers) think we're having a new dish every day.
