#5 - As tempting as it may be to dump leftovers on night two or three, challenge yourself to get creative. Use extra meatballs and sauce to make personal pizzas with veggies. Toss leftover rice and pasta into soup. Add veggie scraps when making chicken stock - or throw all your produce odds and ends together for a stir-fry.
COMMENT: When my kids were young I kept a gallon plastic jar in my freezer. Every night I would put my leftovers in the jar and when it was full I would thaw, add liquid if needed, and make some of the best soup you'll ever eat. I added everything from spaghetti to cube steak to chili and of course all of my leftover veggies. Only one time did this not work and that was when I had leftover turnips. Not so good in a soup, at least not for me. And of course you wouldn't add salad as a leftover.
