Do you eat leftovers?

it's not healthy to eat leftover.one suggestion for you is that you can prepare less for each meal.anyway,what you eat is important,it affects your energy and indirectly affects your work efficiency.so be healthy.

I don't like to throw away leftovers either. I usually reheat it the next day or eat it later on the same day. I also cook more than I need because I like to take my leftovers to work, as well. I think it is a waste if people throw their leftover food away. If they have a dog or cat they can give it to them. There are so many poor people in this world that barely get enough food. It is a shame if we don't give a second thought on this subject. I

I wish I could eat leftovers. It saves money and wastefulness. I just can''t eat left overs though. Something about it just doesn't settle with me. Boy do I wish I could.

I have found that leftovers sometimes taste better than the food when it was first cooked. FOr example, in the case of pasta, when it's been left in the saucepan all night, soaking in all the sauce, it tastes great the next morning. As a rule, I prefer food that is freshly cooked, but when it's left over for a day, that's ok. If it goes beyond that, my family would all revolt!

Hi Velentina What do I do with my leftovers?...I eat them! It would be expensive financially to throw away leftovers if you have a decent refrigerator you can keep your leftovers more than 1 day. My family and I have been eating leftovers all our lives and we are still hear LOL besides leftovers taste better the next day because the spices and herbs have a chance to marinade especially in chicken or sauces , stews ect.. After all what do people think supermarkets do they sell leftovers which are foods that have been cooked and then either frozen or refrigerated by a manufacturer and then distributed to the grocery chains in turn the supermarkets sell them to the public in a pre packaged box or bag. Such as Tysons, Perdue, Hillshire Farms, ect.. all those fully cooked pre packaged items such as polish sausage, or chicken strips,or any heat and serve items If you buy those your eating leftovers... in my opinion I for one refuse to throw away food that is still edible also salt preserves food longer that is why pre packaged food have so much salt in it . Also people who have ever bought anything from a hot deli in a supermarket its buying leftovers precookded and packaged food that have been sitting under a heat lamp

Hi. I do not throw away food as it costs money and consumes time preparing it. However I will not eat food that has been sitting for more than a day. If food remains, I will just put it in a container and place it in the refrigerator. The next day, I will eat it. Saves time and money.

We usually eat them for lunch here as well or breakfast sometimes if we need to. Depending on what it is sometimes I'll freeze the item and reheat it another time. Like my hubby makes huge vats of chili and we don't eat that much of it so I freeze it in zip bags. I can't see wasting, nor can I afford to.

hi velentina when I was still cooking for myself I used leftovers in the next days dinner or lunch sometimes I made them into a soup or stew, depending on what my leftovers were.some veggies go well in a salad others with meat, so it just depended on what I had left over. I always used them up and did not keep anything too long. It helped to save my food money too.

I am like you. I do not like to waste food, as money is getting tight these day. I will keep the leftovers in the fridge for 1-2 days, then it is bad for me after that. I will either eat them for lunch or for dinner the next day.

I don´t like to eat the same thing every day. But as I live alone but lead a nice social life, it´s easy for me to have leftovers. I prepare them in another way so they look new. Blenders help a lot to change caseroles into nice soups and creams. I always have some grated cheese to put on top or make fried diced bread if I have some leftover bread. Rice can stay in good shape in the fridge for a week. I add some oil to leftover pasta so it won´t stick. I make omerlettes with just about anything that´s in the fridge. When there´s more, I make quiches. I buy unexpensive cheese that melt and but it inside, diced. I have found that whole chicken is a lot cheaper that cut pieces. So I put the chicken in the oven (I have a small electric oven just fit for one bird). Then I start with the several lives of the roasted chicken. Hot and cold, as it is or made into sauces, anything. I must confess though that I love to cook. Happy posting!

I do eat leftover foods. What I do is to put it in the fridge and experiment on it the next day. I will make another dish out of the leftover foods. For example I have fried foods left, the next day I will cook a sauce and put the leftover fried food on it. I call it as recycled foods. That way I am not throwing anything since as you have said prices of foods nowadays are becoming expensive.

yes, seeing today's prices of the food has raised abruptly, in my view not to waste the left food,store the left one and you can use it for next days lunch or in morning by heating it....

I don't mind eating leftovers - as long as it is not chicken. I hate it when they do it at home because I don't like its texture after reheating. If my Mom or Aunt cook food which is too much for everyone in the household, they will already separate it on a container so that it won't get spoiled and then put it in the fridge. Then we put it in the oven the next time we will eat it.

I eat, of course! It's actually depending for the time consumed and if it's still fresh and okay, why not? I will...

I eat what I prepare. It is very easy for me because I do not have anyone else but me here. It did take me a while to gauge rice and noodles with their uncooked to cooked expansion rates but I eventually got it. But then when I was younger, I would consume everything. Now there are things that take a couple of days to prepare in my opinion. My chicken and rolled egg dumplings I prefer to leave sitting for a day to let all the spices be absorbed by the chicken and the dumplings, to be reheated before serving. A lot of soups I prefer that way, and most chilies. I suppose all of those are actually soups, some thicker than others ... I find with genuine leftovers, if I save something from a restaurant (thankfully lately I'm finding many are serving smaller portions, and you don't have to be a senior to get it) most likely I will forget about it, and it would have been better left on some compost pile.

When it comes to leftovers I will either save it for lunch the next day or for dinner again. I too hate to throw food away and with so many starving in the world it just wouldn't be right. I know people who for some reason can't eat leftovers and I just don't understand it.

of course i do eat leftover, i always have my oven toaster to heat it up from fridge. foods nowadays are very much expensive so we better save.

yes, i eat leftovers as long as they are yet spoiled. I love pasta that is always makes most of the leftovers. Or we have roasted chicken and we have alot left then we use it to make a different dish.

I also don't like to throw food so I usually keep it in the fridge. Next day, I will heat it up very well and eat it - there is no harm and all the bacteria will be killed by the heat. In fact, I sometimes feel that the leftover food is actually better because the spices have "gone into" the food giving added flavor. Sometimes, I will even improvise on leftovers and make a new dish mixing it with some fresh ingredients!

yes. leftovers that are properly keep. even excess foods left by my children on their plates which they can no longer eat. i guess, its a virtue of being the breadwinner, i know how hard to make money just to have food on the table. waisting them is like waisting your hard-earned money.
