Hello and welcome to November! Amazing how time flies when we’re cooking, baking and talking about food! I hope you had a great weekend and had some culinary adventures of your own, especially with Halloween goodies. I hosted a Halloween party and because I’ve been so tired lately, it was a lot of work but worth it. I’ll be sharing pictures and recipes of my Halloween goodies all this week. Sunday was a date with me and the couch. I loved just hanging out and having myself a lazy Sunday.
But since it’s now officially November, everyone must have Turkey on the brain. I can’t believe Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away! If you’re like me, you’re probably looking over recipes to serve for the big day and ways to use up leftovers. However, I’d like to help out with someone’s Thanksgiving leftovers this year. Heck, it doesn’t even have to be Thanksgiving leftovers – it could be leftovers of next week’s dinner! This week, I’m giving away to a lucky reader a Lock & Lock 20 piece storage set. I’m a fan of Lock & Lock storage containers because they do a fantastic job of storing leftovers and food… both in and out of the refrigerator. They’re safe to use in the microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.
Launched in 1997, Lock &Lock is a totally new concept in air &liquid tight containers. Since the introduction of plastic storage ware, there have been minimal changes in the fundamental design. There were two major problems with current plastic storage ware, imperfect sealing and difficulty in opening and closing lids. Researchers at Hanacobi have recognized the problem and after intensive research and development, Lock & Lock was invented.
With revolutionary four locking mechanism and a resilient silicon seal, food is kept fresh for longer without having to worry about any spillage. With storage saving design and Microwave, dishwasher and freezer safe, Lock &Lock is a convenient way to organize any kitchen. Since its launch, Lock &Lock has acquired 1022 patents, trademarks and registration of design in 68 countries and is sold over 100 countries world wide. Lock &Lock aims to continuously develop quality products that meet and exceed expectations of consumers.
Made of high grade durable plastic, these stackable, multi-use containers are ergonomically designed with a special silicone sealing ring that works to keep your items fresh and secure.
- Optimal stain resistance.
- Microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe
- 100-Percent airtight and watertight
- Popular sizes at a great value
- Ideal sizes for everyday use

Lasagna.
oooh, i love lock & lock containers! i always prefer my chili, and my chicken and biscuits the next day.
There's not much that isn't better the next day! Some things need to be eaten fresh — souffles, many salads, most sandwiches — but "leftovers" is unfairly pejorative.
My favorites are Lasagna, pizza, and chili….always better the next day.
Ham/tater tot/broccoli casserole…it's wooonderful when fresh and hot, but HEAVENLY the next day…leftovers are often fought over!
I would really like to win some lock & locks, those things are amazing.

Either my meatball sub casserole or my slow cooker chicken and dumplings. Both are great meals the first time around but they're also fabulous the next day for lunch 🙂
Chili and Greek Moussaka! I think I like the next day even better than when it is fresh! Thanks for a great giveaway!
I like a cold meat loaf sandwich with ketchup even more than the hot meat loaf for dinner.
Definitely chili! I don't even eat it the day I make it!!
I have a cabbage salad that is great the next day; it gives the flavors time to really mingle.
Chili!
Any type of soup, chili or beans. Speaking of beans, I made lentils last night and I cannot wait for lunch today!
Definitely homeade spaghetti. I've even been known to put it in the George Foreman the next day as a sandwich with cheese 🙂
Without a doubt pasta salad. The longer it sits in the dressing the better the flavor!
I just have to say I love this giveaway! Thank you so much for offering it!!!
Homemade salsa. It just gets spicier!
My favorite next day leftover is mashed potato. I love to make potato pancakes ou of it.
My favorite would have to be meatballs the next day!
