altarflameI have begun to plan meals just for my private yummy leftovers half the time. FOR INSTANCE (because I know you're dying for examples):
That roast I talked about making a couple of weeks ago? I made it again last night, as our One Day Late Christmas Feast, thinking all the while of what I would get to have for breakfast the next day - whole grain bread smeared in disgusting amounts of Smart Balance and loaded with the meat, squishy garlic and luscious soft onions from the liquid (all still cold). Geez Louis this is one of my favorite things in life, no joke. I go to bed fantasizing about it the night before after sticking the leftovers in the fridge.
Likewise, I sometimes lately get a craving for parmesean cheddar mashed potato pancakes, and the only way I can have them is if I make the mashed potatoes the night before.
I continue to make far too much seasoned up ground turkey for taco night every time because I want to be able to stir sliced olives, diced tomato, shredded cheese and salsa into it the next day and eat it on corn chips. Om NOM NOM!
Leftover cooked veggies make for really easy, less-steps omelettes and frittattas the next day.
Anyway, yeah, this is also actually all good for my weight loss, in that I keep myself from tearing through all the leftover food hours after dinner, in the night, by planning what I'll do with it the next day.
The insane thing is that I think that my own curbed compulsive overeating is actually lowering our family of 7's grocery bill significantly :x
