My wife does the same thing, makes extra to avoid cooking for a day or two. I occasionally do the cooking too. Basically, she may prepare one meal a week and I prepare one meal a month. The other days we eat salad or sandwiches or microwave a frozen meal. This system seems to be working."I have something else very controversial to say in my post"
What's a left-over?
See, sometimes the food doesn't make it to leftover stage - and by golly by gosh, wouldn't you know those are the nights I intentionally make a lot of extra so that there will be left overs so I either don't have to cook another night or so that there is a head start to turn one dish into something different?
