It really depends..sometimes we have leftovers (which is great and really saves money) sometimes we don't

Press-N-Seal has become my friend. I highly recommend it. I portion out meat and freeze (ie - 2 chicken cutlets together). I will make 4 portions sometimes, but so we have leftovers for lunch or for dinner the next night.


Also, I bought the Forman grill - the one with the removable plates that is easy to wash and this makes cooking for 2 soooo much easier.

It varies and depends on the recipe. Usually recipes are for 4 and we save leftovers. Otherwise we are just tossing some ingredients together and then it's just for us.

I usually cook for 4- dh always eats 2 helpings of whatever I make (and doesnt gain weight Chat Icon ) and then takes the leftovers for lunch




That sounds like my DH except I'm the one who takes the leftovers for lunch.

It depends on what I'm cooking but I usually like to have leftovers so both or one of us can take to work the next day. I refuse to buy lunch, I can't remember the last time I did.
Too expensive!
