As I posted Sunday,I made a huge casserole of goulash for myself and grandson(who is now staying with me thru the week)He has ate this once,and I've taking it to work twice for my lunch at work.Im getting alittle tired of it,and I know it can't be froze.My frugal side,tells me I can dump it so I guess I will continue to eat

It's just me and DH and that's why I don't make casseroles or large meals. He rarely ever eats leftovers, leaving me with them. At least I can freeze spaghetti sauce.

We eat leftovers all the time. Who wants to cook in this heat? DH made pork tenderloin on the grill today. We had mixed veggies with rice, gravy, roll. Tomorrow we will have bbq sliders with baked beans. I'm sure there will still be some left so we will eat it with fried rice.

We have leftovers on purpose. With only the two of us it makes sense. No need to cook everyday. For instance we had baked steak and mashed potatoes yesterday. We also had it today so no need to cook today. There is still some left and DH will make a sandwich of it for his lunch tomorrow. I am meeting friends for lunch tomorrow so this is perfect for him.

We like Tuna Noodle caserole and add a can of pea and carrrots to it. We like it better the second day and we can still have casseroles with no waste.

Same with salmon patties. DH cooks 4 of them. We heat the extra 2 up in the mic the next day. Meatloaf - glad to have it the second day and any left then makes a great lunch sandwich

Baked turkey cutlets in gravy. So good and tender baked again the second day. Pork tenderloin - supper one day, pulled pork the next day. And the list goes on.

We often say, this tastes better today than it did yesterday and that is true as the flavors blend.

Yes. I love them!

DH on the other hand does not. I might talk him into eating them, but definitely not the day after, and I have to watch him make a face. Our children, unfortunately, are just like him. It was fun when they were teenagers. They didn't want them at all and would often go out to get something else.

It depends on what the leftovers are. Some yes, most no.

I admit that my husband and I don't eat many leftovers. I often make a lot of some foods on purpose and freeze them.

We don't throw leftovers away. My children stop by often and take them home. My youngest son comes for dinner every Saturday night and always leaves with leftovers.

My daughter will take my leftovers too. We probably give away just as much food as we eat.

DH loves leftovers! In fact, he prefers them. I rarely get to any. I would never throw food out because I was tired of eating it. Just freeze it and save it for another week.

Yes absolutely - for dinner I frequently make enough to have for the next night. I switch it up with a diffierent side and fresh vegetable. I love to cook and for me it makes more sense and saves money.
