I love to cook and come up with all these crazy healthy things to make. But, since I am the only one dieting in my house, most of my family won't even try some of the stuff I make.

 So, what do you do with all the leftovers?

I try to freeze stuff and eat it later, but usually it just gets thrown out. Like yesterday I made this chicken stuff. It's really good, but I know no one here will eat it. I could eat it the rest of the week. But, I really wanted to make some other stuff today. So, I will probably freeze it for next week. 

Anyway, just curious if anyone else has a problem with this.

I don't make much in surplus. I do cook my chicken for 3 days, cantaloupe and pineapple lasts a few days, and my salad lasts about a week or so.

I do buy 3 loaves of my bread at a time, and freeze the other 2, because only Super Target sells it that I've found, and it's a bit of a trek out.

Has your husband not started eating healthier? Tell him to be open to new things! There are plenty of dishes out there that are healthy and taste good. :grin:

He doesn't eat to bad. He would probably eat a whole lot better if I cooked more often the things he likes.

But, I really can't stand eating the same thing all the time. So, I am always trying new things and recipes.

I have finally got him to eat a little bit of turkey in stuff instead of hamburger.
