I'd probably say "You can have leftovers from last night's dinner for
breakfast" ("yesterday" just sounds funny to me when talking about
something at night or in the evening). I'd understand that sentence,
but it would sound very odd.
Actually, I'd be most likely to just say "You can have leftovers from
last night for breakfast"
Would you say something like "Last night's dinner was very good"? Or
would you have to say "The dinner we ate last night was very good"?
