When It's Too Cold For Grocery Shopping, These 15 Meals Give You Leftovers All Week
So nice you'll enjoy it twice!

In life there are certain routine tasks that feel, each time, nearly insurmountable. For me, the most despicable of these is going grocery shopping. While the actual process of walking the aisles and choosing ingredients for future meals can be genuinely enjoyable, the prospect of leaving my apartment to spend not an insignificant amount of money and lug a week’s worth of ingredients home in the cold is enough to glue me to my couch. That’s why I especially love these big-batch dinner recipes. Each of these 15 recipes are sure to leave you with leftovers, which will save you an extra trip to the store. Plus, they’re so good, you’ll want to enjoy them several times a week anyway! Each of these recipes will leave you with leftovers that will last for several days in the fridge, so by just making a few recipes you'll keep your fridge stocked the whole week through.
Large serving sizes are one way to beat the grocery store blues, but another way is to utilize the ingredients that you already have in your pantry. Recipes like our baked feta chickpeas, chicken Alfredo, and beef stew come together in a snap, with basic ingredients you likely already own.
Similarly, easy soups and stews, like our copycat Chick-Fil-A chicken tortilla soup, creamy chicken marsala gnocchi soup, and classic chili are perfect for making big batches and freezing for quick and easy consumption whenever the craving strikes.
Whatever you’re craving, odds are we’ve got a weeknight dinner recipe for you that is easy to scale up for leftovers and keep you out of the self-checkout lines. Plus, don’t forget to treat yourself to dessert and drinks on your evenings-in as well, you deserve it!
