Spoon UIUC teamed up with Food & Wine magazine to increase awareness about the problem of food waste on our campus. With a microgrant of just under $100, we created 10 original recipes to show you how you can transform leftover late-night eats into something equally amazing the next day.

As a college student, pizza is a main food group. We all get the occasion (or rather frequent) delivery at 3 am of a large cheese pizza for one. However, we sometimes get bored of the hum-drum leftover pizza heated up in the microwave. So instead of eating just any leftover pizza, why don’t you give it a little more PIZZAzz and make it an EGGcellent meal?
