If it’s a casserole dish and making a big batch , there has to be leftovers . And I personally like to have some left so that my next day lunch is sorted.

With the beginning of school season ,mornings are crazy hectic here. Making breakfast and lunch together early morning gets overwhelming most of the times. This is when I love to have leftovers.

My husband takes home made lunches to office and it saves us $$$ every month .  Even if I am not around , all he has to to is grab a Reynolds™ Disposable Heat & Eat container and fill it with leftovers the next morning .Microwave it up for lunch and toss it when done.

We don’t have to worry about heating food in plastic containers.
