There are two adults in my home. We love leftovers!

I cook for one and usually can only tolerate a single repeat as leftovers so I’m trying to be better at cutting a recipe in half.

This sounds delicious! I cook for two, and almost always make the full recipe for dinner so we can have the leftovers for lunch. We both work from home so it’s nice having something easy all ready to just heat up.

We also are two - and always love leftovers! But sometimes, leftovers are really only enough for one more serving :)

This is right up our alley minus the mayo for me 😉 Usually cooking for 2 but a leftover meal is just fine. We would always finish the salad in first round.

Yes, the Mayo can easily be left out. You might add a pinch of sugar to round out the flavors.

Thx! -Another terrific meal idea! Ditto, mostly cooking for two-often like to freeze leftover portions when possible (as you’ve suggested in the past)...makes great surprise packages when I visit my daughter in college, or when solo at home!

Also-I purchased the Kyocera mandolin when you recommended it last year-love it!! Also keep it wrapped in a kitchen towel to protect the blade-your smart suggestion as well!Thx!

I live by myself so cook for one. I will often cut a recipe in half so that I can have leftovers. If it is something that will freeze well then I will cook the full recipe and freeze some of the leftovers for the days I am busy.

I typically cook for two but love the idea of leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day. I will sometimes repurpose the leftovers or serve them with an additional side if I want to mix it up! Can’t wait to make this recipe this weekend!

Leftovers for lunch are the best!

Seems to be the consensus!

Ditto: cooking for 2 and 1 leftover.

Exactly! Cooking for 2, but quality leftovers especially appreciated in our busy lives! Can't wait to make this one. Thank you! Enjoy your journey.....that apartment and location look divine! Traveling vicariously with you!

You can refrigerate two of the coated chicken breasts and cook them fresh for the second meal.

Two adults and a recipe for four means we can savor a meal twice and enjoy a leisurely day two.

Cooking for two but also love leftovers!

Could you please remind me of the mandolin that you use? I have a big fancy one from William Sonoma but it’s a lot of bother to use. Thank you!

Agreed! I love the simple Kyocera with adjustable ceramic blad which is about $20 on Amazon!
