Usually, its pretty simple stuff, generally depending on what I have left over.
Of late, a favorite of the family is leftover steak, sliced thin and chowed up with onions and garlic and a bottled teryaki glaze, and served hot on a bed of crisp spring salad greens with a raspberry-walnut vinagarette. 
About 10 mins to prepare.

Often its some soup made from one of the big holiday meals, Beef, Turkey or Pea... whatever. 

If I dont have anything leftover, I'll get a bunch of stuff and make something big, and invite the In-laws over (they adore my cooking), then I can have leftovers again. In spring and summer that usually means something on the grill, with fresh corn when available. 

I want so much to improvise a table grill to do a Yakiniku party.
I got hooked on it at an EXCELLENT Japanese restaurant in Appleton, Wisconsin (of all places). 

I'll figure it out, some time this summer.
