We do both go through weeks where we spend 12+ hours at work and eat both lunch and dinner there though, and I can only go to the pita place next door so often.<br /><br />For freezing - I don't freeze anything with dairy (cheese is ok though) or eggs when they're poached/fried/boiled (eggs as ingredients in muffins and such are fine though). Lasagne and chili are good freezer staples for us. Soup too.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04281962497174042180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710921900753150958.post-23636451541585001672012-03-26T18:09:56.510-04:002012-03-26T18:09:56.510-04:00I try, but still don't have the hang of it.

Other times, there's only enough left overs for one and I always try to be the nice wife and let my husband have it after a late night at work.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08290926484249794154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710921900753150958.post-46122143381643948612012-03-26T17:46:38.184-04:002012-03-26T17:46:38.184-04:00I'm awful at managing leftovers!

This is definitely something that I'm working on!!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12919362264913621435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710921900753150958.post-42647325358110062682012-03-26T17:32:18.510-04:002012-03-26T17:32:18.510-04:00Yes, this is extremely hard to conquer.

I try to go through my coupons and cookbooks to determine what to cook, but I always end up cooking lots on weeks we are barely home to eat. I am so off balance as well. There are websites that will plan you weeks menu for you and make sure you use all of your ingredients, but that is too much food for us. And I am not a big fan of leftovers. I am still working to find the balance.Dara M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00286627784166263897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710921900753150958.post-78130970663284795542012-03-26T13:55:14.806-04:002012-03-26T13:55:14.806-04:00Exactly!
