Tips: Tonight's Leftovers are Tomorrow's Lunch

cooking for two, we usually have food left over after dinner. now i know not everyone is in love with leftovers so with tip isn't for everyone. but my husband enjoys taking leftovers to work with him for lunch.

so after we have finished eating dinner, whatever is left in the pot or pan is put into reusable plastic containers and packed for lunch the following day. that way the leftover don't become a science project in the back of the refrigerator never to be seen again...until the day they come crawling towards you...

this not only cuts back on food waste (since the food will be used fairly immediately) but it helps save us money on lunches. it also makes his lunch buddies jealous when they are eating burger king and my husband is eating curried pork chops and savory mashed potatoes.
