LOL!! Hiding them in something the next day!! Men are so fussy.

Make a large roast and you can recyle it for him in meat salads, fajitas and or tacos, add BBQ sauce for sandwiches, use a different type of sauce for another meal - see when he realizes its actually leftovers! A friend of ours made a meatloaf (traditional with the brown sugar and ketchup on top) and her family won't eat leftovers. She made a huge one! The next day she broke up the meat and added BBQ sauce and ketchup for sloppy joes. The day after she made tacos and taco salads and a taco appetizer breaking up the meat and adding taco seasoning mix and water to heat through. She had some for the freezer that she used for loosemeat sandwiches, Impossible pies and chunked some for a ground beef pot pie! No one knew what she did!

We always eat leftovers. Rarely does food get tossed. The kiddo and I will eat what hubby doesn't take to work for lunch. I intentionally make more than necessary for dinners.

We always have leftovers so that way my and DH can take them to work for lunch. It really cuts back on our spend money. Depending on what the leftovers are we might use them for another meal. Example leftover roast will become taquitos. Left over chicken can become tacos or burritos.

I will eat leftovers. My husband prefers not. The problem is, with two teenage sons, if I have leftovers, it's not enough for even one person...just little bits..I used to throw out the last little bits of the veggies I served, now I keep a tupperware bowl in the freezer and put all of the leftover veggies in it. Then when I make soup I use all of those veggies. I don't know what I can do with the little bits of the main dishes , though. I usually just throw them out.

I usually freeze my leftover veggies too, if I don't use them within a day or so. They're great when it comes time for soups and stews.
