I am a BIG fan of leftovers. Without them, Jordan would go hungry at lunch during the week. I count on leftovers to either repurpose into other meals during the week or to freeze for quick dinners when I don’t feel like cooking. When I pick out recipes for my weekly meal plan, I try to find things that will reheat well. So no multiple servings of fish or crispy things. If I do want to cook things that don’t reheat as well, I will try to scale the recipe down to two servings. I know that people often struggle with recipes that create leftovers so here is a snapshot of what I do with mine.
Here we have the leftover chicken and rice from the burrito bowls.
The one on the top left is Jordan’s lunch for tomorrow. The next bowl has the leftover rice and two servings of chicken. I will probably use these to make enchiladas or baked Chimichangas with this week. The ziploc has three servings of chicken for the freezer (enough for two dinners and a lunch). We try not to waste anything if possible.
Hope this helps some of you out there who may struggle with leftovers.
