This one takes a small bit of planning, but is really rather simple. Just make extra. If you're making a casserole, make and freeze and extra one. Or honestly, even leftovers. My husband is a chef (and honestly, before you get overwhelmed thinking, "Oh, this is surely easy for them," think again. That honestly has nothing to do with it. We don't cook fancy at home. We both grew up on comfort food in homes with moms who never let anyone enter their homes without offering sustenance and never let anyone leave their homes hungry.) Anyway, as I was saying, my husband is a chef and brought home some leftover soup and stew that they'd made for staff lunch today, so we dropped it off at an elderly couple's home. If the thought of giving people leftovers bothers you, just make extra and put some aside before putting the food on your family's table. I also packed up some leftovers from dinner tonight for my elderly uncle. It's really simple. Just takes a little bit of thinking about others and how they could use what you have a surplus of!
I would love your input for my survey: Hospitality Survey.
Blessings,
Barb
