[quote=Anonymous]I used to dislike leftovers because I just didn't like reheated food, but I've totally come around on them and now I love them. Partly you just need to know what is going to reheat well and how to do it (oven reheat is usually worth the effort and time versus the microwave). But also I just hit a point where the prospect of eating a real meal (not a frozen dinner or fast food or something) with so little effort is just magical to me.

Also, when we became parents, I got really into making double of a lot of dishes (any kind of casserole or soup, meatballs, sauces, etc.) and freezing them. So now 3-4x a month we can pull something homemade from the freezer and then just make a salad and dinner is done. It is so nice. It's also saved us in so many situations like getting home from vacation late on a Sunday when restaurants are closed, or the time I had to have surgery and neither DH nor I had the bandwidth to cook.

I will say that the phrase "we don't do leftovers" sounds snobby, even though the choice is fine. It's like when people say "oh we don't watch TV." That's totally fine, we actually watch very little TV ourselves, but you have to know it comes off rudely.[/quote]
