    Cook Once, Eat Twice! 7 Meals that Make for Killer Leftovers

    As days get shorter and schedules get tighter, there seems to be less time to spend preparing dinner every night. While you're in the kitchen chopping and simmering, why not make something you can pull into service again one day down the road - transformed into something different the next night or frozen for months, ready to pull out on a cold winter's night when you don't have time to cook? Roast two chickens instead of one, assemble two lasagnas and freeze one for later, or cook extra rice to fry up another day… here are some delicious ways to make your dinner do double duty. - By Julie Van Rosendaal

      Easy Lasagna
      While you're at it, why not assemble two pans side by side? Throw one in the oven, and cover the other and freeze. When you need an easy meal, uncover and bake from frozen, adding about 10 minutes to the cooking time.
