Rice and some pasta can have texture issues when frozen and reheated. I still freeze and eat them, but there’s some loss of quality. If this bothers you, use smashed potatoes or polenta or a chewy grain (like bulgur) for the starch when you’re planning to freeze leftovers. I can’t tell the difference between these dishes fresh and frozen.

I freeze complete single-serving meals (say, chili on polenta, or enchiladas and refried beans) in small trays and bring one to work for lunch every day.
