    I love leftovers, but nobody else in the family does, so I freak if it doesn't all get eaten. Hence why I have issues with food! I hate to waste!

    It depends on what it is. I can't stand reheated meat, but I will eat left over pasta or rice.

    My husband isnt big on leftovers. But, I figure if it is a big enough portion to add to lunch or even dinner the next night, I will package it up and in the fridge it goes. My 2yr old usually ends up getting some of it for lunch the next day as well and she usually doesnt have a problem with eating it! :) My husband gets mad because sometimes I wont get to eat it and then we end up throwing it away anyway but, i would rather save it instead of throwing it out and wanting it the next day or 2.

    Leftovers make GREAT lunches!!!!

    I love them. I sometimes giggle a little when I know I get to eat some real homecooked meal for lunch instead of a frozen meal. It really makes me happy.

    I'd much rather have leftover homemade food than fast food/packaged food. Depends on what is being reheated. Lasagna, potato cheese casseroles, spaghetti, salads, etc are very good the next day. I don't really consider it "leftover" food, just having more of it to eat the next day! If it starts out good, it should be good the next day.

    Now, I will NOT save Fast Food. My step-daughter doesnt always eat all her food if we eat out but, i wont save it...YULK!!!! Then again, we dont eat fast food much anymore! :)

    I purposely make enough dinner to have leftovers for lunch the next day. And if it's something like a stew or soup, for several days.

    I bake a big batch of chicken every week and use the leftovers for my husband's lunch sandwiches to avoid the additives in processed lunch meats.

    I usually cook a lot on Sunday, so that when I am busy I can have most of my meals for the week prepared. Lotsa leftovers. I love cooking and would prefer to make a new meal for lunch/breakfast everyday, but working full-time, going to school nights and squeezing in workout time makes it close to impossible :ohwell:

    I meant that leftover homemade food is better than just bought fast food/just made frozen food. :)
