When cooking a casserole dish, like our favorite turkey spinach lasagna or Christmas quiche, I always triple it and make three. One for now, one or two to freeze for later. I usually use these for an unexpected visit or to give away as a gift/or to a needy friend. It's so good to share something "made" with family and friends as gifts of love.
I also like to have 3-5 appetizer type dishes on hand for taking to a last minute party or when entertaining on a moment's notice.
Lastly, I buy extra teacher, hostess gifts to have on hand for last minute needs. I buy them in the summer when on sale and try to get multiples of things I love...that way if they don't get all given away, I will gladly keep and use them.
