I have to admit that there are a handful of things that I will freeze
and, technically, I suppose one could consider them as leftovers.
Traditional lasagne is one of them. The day I bake lasgne and serve
it, I immediately portion out servings to be frozen, as we won't eat it
two days in a row. Most side dishes I only cook in the amount we will
eat at one meal. If any is left it gets tossed. Leftover meats, such
as a beef roast, I will also portion out immediately and freeze. It's
sometimes difficult to cook for just two people and that limits what
we're willing to eat as leftovers.

Pretty much the same here. As for lasagne, I rarely eat but D loves it, so
I make a huge one and portion it up
