[quote=Anonymous]We are like you, OP. We got into this habit when kids were babies/toddler and we were (1) tired, and (2) cash poor due to childcare costs. It's so lovely not to have to cook every other night, but without needing to spend $60 on takeout. We will also cop-out with frozen meals sometimes (frozen pizza or skillet dishes) but often the nutritional value of these are dubious so we try not to do it often.

However, in addition to making things with leftovers, I also have a bunch of items that I will make an extra large batch of and then put half in the freezer to be eaten in a few weeks. So we can theoretically get four nights of dinners out of one night of cooking. We do this with bolognese, chili and soups, burritos, and a few different casseroles. I LOVE pulling a home cooked meal loaded with veggies and a flavorful sauce out of the freezer and popping it on the stove or in the oven for an hour and then eating it with no mess or effort. Wash one dish and put your dinner dishes in the dishwasher and you are done. It is the most glorious gift to give yourself.[/quote]
