Creative leftovers
You can cook more food than needed for one meal to create whole new meals that don’t look or taste like leftovers. Chicken thighs are great alone and on pizza later in the week. Gremolata made for chicken one night tastes great on streaks the next night. And those steaks for dinner lead to delicious sandwiches for lunch the next day.
