Tackling Leftovers

Of course there are a TON of Thanksgiving leftovers at my house - with the notable exception of pie ;)

It got me to thinking about how to best keep them from spoiling, even after we became sick of turkey and stuffing three times a day.

Many sites say to freeze your leftovers in single-serving portions using traditional muffin tins.  This is all well and good, except when it comes time to get them out.  I was given a silicon muffin pan a few Christmases ago, and that seems to solve the problem.

The flexible "cups" make the removal of your frozen goodies simple and truly are a "single-serving" as opposed to using large plastic containers from your "recycle" drawer.  They can also be put into a glass bowl with a locking lid and taken to work to be heated up in the microwave.

Now, If I can just figure out how to keep the pie from disappearing so fast...
