There are certain things (chili, spaghetti) that I will eat leftover, but typically, if left up to me, the leftovers will go bad. I usually only plan about 4-5 meals a week to leave room for leftovers, or nights that I just don't feel like cooking. And, often, a menu item gets tabled until the next week. :)<br />As far as picky eaters, the boys have decided that they don't like supper because they have to eat what we are eating (even if it is something they love). So, we have decided to make what we enjoy, and if they don't want to eat, they will just be hungry (I have hearty boys, so it is not hurting them). I don't like the dinner table to be a battle ground, but I also refuse to short order cook. Only once or twice have they ever actually gone to bed hungry. We also have a rule that if they complain about it, they have to eat it all.<br />Does that help?Troyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324208768252038950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34405866.post-27955839381544616972010-02-01T10:18:51.008-08:002010-02-01T10:18:51.008-08:00How do you handle leftovers?
