When I was in my early 30s I suddenly went from cooking for a family to cooking for me and wowza what a learning curve that was, so I feel this completely! And the struggle has continued on and off as my life changed in the intervening 30+ years. Good thing I work from home and I like leftovers!

I knew I couldn't be the only one who's had trouble making the adjustment! I like leftovers sometimes when I can repurpose them into a different type of meal. Just a mind trick!

Ohh shit, this is me. I just fractured my toe and I’m supposed to be icing and elevating it, but I’ve been cooking all week instead. I’m making brown butter skor cookies and shrimp fettucine alfredo tomorrow.

Before you stop, bring some of those leftovers to work for me. I love leftovers - especially ones that started out looking like these.
