leftovers yay or nay?

I normally have my supper leftovers for lunch. If I make a big pot of something, sometimes I eat on it until it is gone, sometimes I freeze it. 3-5 meals is about it.

And I like to make a leftover rice omelette. Add cooked down green onion and bell pepper and some browned ground sausage. Mix all together and make an omelette out of it.

Your thread will get the anchor with a one word topic. They tend to like at least 3 words.

Depends on the leftovers. I can eat roast and rice 'n gravy at least twice and a roast beef poboy thereafter.

When I make big pots of gumbo, I can do that about 3 nights.

I'm not a leftover lover, but I can usually eat most things one more time and that's my limit with some exceptions. Some foods just lose quality or are overcooked as leftovers and I won't eat those at all. I'm not big on leftover steak unless I sear cut slices quickly for a steak sandwich or a cold steak salad, which I'm not that fond of anyway. Can't remember the last time I had one.

Lasagna is okay reheated and I will sometimes make a meatball sandwich with leftover meatballs and gravy.

Beef bourguignon, coq au vin, braised short ribs and things like that work out pretty well. I'll make some of this type of stuff on a weekend to have several times during the work week when I know I'm not going to have time to cook much. I freeze a lot of things for easy meals like that, though.

I cook to have left overs.

Last night I only took 3 thighs out of the package and froze the rest because if I make a whole pack of chicken thighs, they won't get eaten.

Costco has the best chicken thigh packaging. The basic unit is the individual 4-pack, and they comes 6 to a full package. I cut the six 4-packs apart and freeze them individually. One 4-pack is the perfect amount to make 6-8 servings of chicken soup or jambalaya, both of which freeze excellently.

Don't as much as I should, recent case in point, did some awesome bbq chicken and potato salad on Sunday. Ate potato salad with a sammich monday night and never ate the chicken again.

I can not stand throwing food away, makes me think of all those less fortunate that don't have a meal to eat and here I am throwing away a bag of food.

Certain things, like spaghetti or soups are just as good if not better reheated i find
