​Adjust Recipes to Save on Unwanted Leftovers -  October 2018

​Leftovers are all very well, but we seemed to be getting leftovers after every meal. All the recipes I have feed 4 adults, but my family consists of 2 adults and 2 young children. But trying to cook 2/3 of recipes was too hard when I'm in a hurry. So, instead of using the 500g - 700g of meat called for in a recipe, I started to use 400g. The extra sauce from the meal still gets soaked up in the rice or pasta and doesn't go to waste. Now I buy my meat in bulk and take some time to divide it all up into 400g portions. If I buy 2kg of chicken breasts for example, then instead of getting 4 meals of 500g of meat, I get 5 meals of 400g of meat. I'll adjust the amount of meat in a meal as my family grows.
