Healthy Eating Tip: Freeze Leftovers Before Eating

You've just finished cooking a wonderful meal — grilled sesame chicken, roasted asparagus with sliced almonds, and mashed sweet potatoes and carrots. Before you sit down to eat, dish out an appropriate portion of each food for each person then immediately put the rest of the leftovers into BPA-free plastic storage containers, or ones made out of glass. Leaving leftovers on the counter or on your kitchen table while you eat is way too tempting. Popping them directly into the freezer can deter you from polishing off a second dinner soon after finishing your first.
