Happy Birthday, Karen!

Assuming your BD diiner is over, you have all the inregdients for classic
meals to deal with "left overs", IMHO. You could make pizza, omelts,
fritatta/tortilla de patata with fillings, hearty meat+veg soups. Or hot
sandwiches. Culinary fun & easy cooking for days. Sometimes easy cooking is
best: you have extra attention available to give what you're doing and
there's time and energy "left over" to do something fun with loved ones.

Personally, I'd feel like home made pizza with chicken, bacon, green veg,
tomatoes, optionally sprinkled with salad veggies after baking. Drizzle of
oil. Salad on the side.

I'd also be very tempted to make a mushroom soup.
