Freezing is the first thing that comes to mind. As a relatively new "empty nester" I've found that there are very few foods that can't be successfully frozen and it will save you cooking another time.
The second option would be to reinvent whatever you have into something else. This, of course, depends on how complex the original dish was, but if it was something relatively simple (roasted chicken, a rice and vegetable casserole etc), there's always some way to turn it into something else. Do you have an example? What's in your refrigerator right now? |
