Cooking a little extra means tomorrow's dinner or lunch is already done. It saves money and, just as important, time.
Meals that stretch well
- Chili, curry and stew
- A roast chicken: dinner, then sandwiches, then soup
- Pasta sauce: one batch, several meals
- Rice and beans, used different ways
Store it safely
Cool leftovers quickly, refrigerate within two hours, and eat them within three to four days or freeze them.
