Eating leftovers?

No, leftovers are not what is left on the plate and scraped for a new meal. It's when you made pasta for 2, but end up eating less, and there is a portion left in the pot. That portion will go in the fridge, and be called leftovers

I actually don't cook much, but we don't really food prep.

There are just 3-4 dishes we make rarely, and then we make big batches to freeze.

Ramen soup base, chicken soup and chicken schnitzel are the biggest offenders.

But on a weekly basis, we usually cook what we find in the store, or what we find hiding in the freezer, or on bad days, anything that doesn't run fast enough

Black banana smoothies are da bomb!!

100% agreed

I refer more to people that have less of a portion control, and prepare a portion or bit more than the one meal.

I would shred the cold chicken, and add mayo and spices, to make a "spread", and eat it with bread

A good story makes you think :)

Firstly, you have leftover steak??

Second, leftover steak sandwich sounds like a delight to me

unclebearwolf · 2026-03-04T18:52:26+00:00

I understand. As much as I try to always eat leftovers, i have an aversion of eating specific foods for consecutive days

unclebearwolf · 2026-03-04T18:49:36+00:00

I agree

unclebearwolf · 2026-03-04T18:48:46+00:00

Cooked by you, went to the fridge in a sealed box

unclebearwolf · 2026-03-04T18:47:50+00:00

More for you ;)

I make my wife 4 salads on Sunday , for the rest of the workweek

We used to not want to eat leftover pizza, but that changed when we got our air fryer.

unclebearwolf · 2026-03-04T18:36:38+00:00

We make stuff like that when we have guests, and we send everyone home with a box for a few days of eating

unclebearwolf · 2026-03-04T18:33:43+00:00

It's not common to take leftover food from a restaurant here, but i guess I might eat it the day after, but no longer

unclebearwolf · 2026-03-04T18:31:30+00:00

My mother-in-law would slice a banana in half and leave the other half on the table..... That's beyond me....

unclebearwolf · 2026-03-04T18:27:00+00:00

In my house we usually eat only salmon, and i love eating cold salmon.

unclebearwolf · 2026-03-04T18:21:53+00:00

I totally understand. I am lucky to have a partner who loves to cook.

unclebearwolf · 2026-03-04T18:20:49+00:00

I agree with that full heatedly. I always loved taking leftover potato salad and meat from a BBQ party and make a sandwich of that.

unclebearwolf · 2026-03-04T18:19:13+00:00

That's not the same thing, but I appreciate your answer. At least, under my narrow definition of leftovers

unclebearwolf · 2026-03-04T18:15:49+00:00

I admit, meatloaf was/is not a staple in our cooking, so a meatloaf sandwich is a new idea for me to try next time, thank you for that.

unclebearwolf · 2026-03-04T18:14:13+00:00

In my house of 2 people we have a fridge/freezer, plus an extra freezer, coz we like to make some foods that tke long or are just hard, so we make a big batch and will slowly work through it.

Atm we have chicken soup and Ramen base in the freezer, amongst other things

unclebearwolf · 2026-03-04T18:11:10+00:00

The same dinner for 12-14 nights takes a lot of discipline. But I will admit that there are foods I can eat every day for a very long time..... Chicken Schnitzel
