Food delivery brings only what you ordered, not the refills of bread, chips and salsa, or biscuits that usually filled us up. I miss the days doggy bags lasted a couple days.
Cook way too much. Make a big pot of Chili for one person: freeze in individual servings. Soups, Meatballs, stew, even grilled foods: Cook enough for an army, have leftovers that week and/or freeze for later.
Cook enough for next day’s lunch as leftovers. I don’t do well with more than that. Sometimes frozen chili is ok but it’s not the same as when you made it.
Cooking is the family business, 4 generations. There is a genetic love of food. I only have food that others cook for a break, and to learn new recipes.
I have a rolling variety of food in the fridge. As soon as one of the two or three things starts to run out, I replace it with something new. Mom and I have three meals at home every day, which is way way more food requirements than I usually have at home, where it’s just me and I eat out a lot.
Eh just depends. If I make chili then yes I make more and we have leftovers for other nights. Either by itself or used over fries, Fritos or with Mac and cheese. But there are a lot of things I just don’t think save well, or no one will eat as leftovers. Potatoes good, most pasta not good.
Before I dieted last year, I rarely prepped. I ate out. But dieting, I had to mostly bring my own, so I cooked on Sunday’s - still do. nothing else to do

What is this cook you speak of?
Um… stuff…
Yes.
I don’t know what “cook” is either. Please explain.

@hchavers Maybe if you asked for extras? They may be low on orders right now, and may be willing to throw in extras.
Cook for the week.
Get someone else to do it.

I’m a big fan of plannedovers.

I usually cook big meals on Sunday and Monday and have leftovers for the rest of the week.
