Someone here in the forums or in the blogs suggested "serving" the leftover container at the same time you serve the rest of your family. I have found that if I don't do this, the leftovers stay in their bowl in the fridge until I throw them out.
But I've been doing this lately: for instance, we had rotini and meat sauce for supper tonight. I'll put the rotini in the bottom of the zip loc bag (actually, the thin generic kind, cause I'm cheap and I'm going to eat it tomorrow) and then the meat sauce on top. I'll then freeze it. I'll take that frozen hunk of lunch to work tomorrow and put it in the fridge. This way, even if the cheap bag gets a leak, it won't leak all over. For lunch, I'll heat it up in the bag and pour it out on the plate.
