Guides / Plan meals

Cook once, eat twice

Plan leftovers on purpose.

4 min read

Cooking a bigger batch and turning it into a second meal saves time, energy and money.

Ideas

  • Chili one night, burritos or baked potatoes with chili the next
  • Roast chicken, then chicken soup or fried rice
  • A big pot of rice or grains for two or three meals
  • Double a soup or sauce and freeze half

Keep it safe

Cool leftovers quickly, refrigerate within two hours, and eat them within three to four days, or freeze them.
