I know this girl that everytime we go out to eat she never takes her food home if she has some left over. She says she never eats it and just ends up tossing it out the next week. I asked her why and she said she’s just not a fan of leftovers! The crazy thing is – she’s not the only person I’ve met like this!
Now I will admit, some foods don’t make such good leftovers, but the majority are just fine and somethings really are better the second time around!
I mean, how do people not love to eat leftovers?
Clearly the meal was good the first time around if you took it home, right?
Not to mention it’s already cooked so it’s 60 seconds from fridge-to-table (*which makes it a superstar in my kitchen).
And to top it all off, if you eat it straight out of the to-go carton, you’re saving a dish from getting dirty! And we all know how I can’t stand to do dishes!

I SO hear you! I am all about eating leftovers! In fact, a lot of times I’ll cook one meal that serves 4-6 and we’ll eat it twice in one week. And if not, then we definitely eat the leftovers for lunch. I grew up always eating leftovers and I love them. My husband loves leftovers too, but his parents don’t eat them at all. You don’t even want to know the kinds of things we discovered in their fridge after cleaning it out one time… at least your friend throws stuff away when she knows she isn’t going to eat it, haha!

We eat a lot of leftovers in our house. I only cook on the two nights Roy is off work and we eat on those meals for the rest of the week.
Yay for leftovers!

Yay! I love your new design! Now I’m going to explore your site and figure out which features I want to implement on my own site…I’ve been thinking about my redesign for almost a year, and now I get to see the functionality here! Yay!
Also: anyway you can adjust the kerning in the comment section? Comments that are displayed look fine, but typing a comment is difficult to read.
