Some people have weird things about leftovers. And listen, I get it. Sometimes the thought of re-heating and eating that mediocre chicken breast and green beans from yesterday gives me the heebie-jebbies. When things have been hanging out in the fridge too long, you can never be quite sure what they're going to taste like, and it can be gross. But eating leftovers is usually the reality for most adults, since the vast majority of us don't have time to make a meal from scratch every night, and don't have the funds for restaurant food on the reg. So the key is making meals that keep well in the fridge: your soups, stews, and curries, not your salads and sandwiches.
It's a delicate balance, though, especially when you're cooking for more than just yourself. Compromise is essential, and you have to account for your partner's needs.
