I wouldn't eat leftovers more than three days after cooking. Any longer that that and I would consider freezing the leftovers first. Remember, just because you're a vegetarian doesn't mean you're immune to food poisoning.

If I were going to eat the same meal all week I'd choose something that could be changed up each time. For example chilli is good - you can pour it over corn chips, or use it in enchiladas/tacos/fajitas, serve it with rice or baked potatoes, or you know...just eat it out of the bowl...

Sometimes I like to make a whole lot of roast pumpkin, potato, parsnip, sweet potato, carrot, onion etc. Then later I can reheat and eat, chop it up and add to salads or pizzas, use in sandwiches, bake into a quiche, throw over plain pasta, blend into roast vege soup etc.

Curry stores and reheats well - try a lovely Thai coconut curry, or a tasty spinach and paneer curry. It also freezes well - at any one point I'll have a few curries stored in the freezer for "emergencies*"

Hope that helps!

That's really helpful, thank you!

3 days? Try 5-8. Just use a clean container and keep your fridge cold. Your nose can detect most anything that could give you food poisoning at home.
