Thank you Both of your suggestions are very good--and probably better than my choice--but given that this phrase stood independently among a set of tags, I went with "anything can be transformed". In other words "recetas" is a separate tag word, so my translation looked something like this:

spinach parsley patties croquettes leftovers recipes anything can be transformed

I think we can only guess at the precise meaning of both these questions. Can the customer help?

create a totally different meal

Transform is also used, but that also does not sound appetizing.
Example sentence:

Look at leftovers as merely an ingredient for a completely different meal.

To clarify, "repurposed meals" is my tentative suggestion for the string "recetas todo se transforma."
