Extending this tip further: a lot of things turn out fairly decent when frozen and then unfrozen. Cooked rice, raw homemade pasta, diced vegs (onions, peppers, carrots), citrus juice, cooked beans, stews and pilafs in general. So if you have the available freezer space it’s worth to hide some leftovers there, for an “I got no money and no time but I need to eat!” sort of meal.
Freezing diced veggies was a game-changer for me. Sometimes I just want to get it all done at once so I don’t have to pull out the board and wash everything every time.

Just don’t freeze potatoes. They get spongy.

It’s like I’m a sous chef for future me.
