How much veg should I prepare per person? Roughly?

[runnyhabbit]

Regardless of what meal I cook, I always have leftovers.

Is there a proper way of working out how much to cook, without leftovers

Any help is appreciated, because I know you're all busy

One of my favourite parts of Christmas is bubble and squeak & cold turkey/stuffing/sausages on boxing day.

I always aim to have leftovers, saves having to cook again for a couple of days.

Good point about the leftovers

Why on earth am I worrying now Its never bothered me before

I tend to do 4 or 5 carrot sticks, 3 broccoli florets etc per person etc.

ANd yes, any leftover potato for bubble and squeak (in fact have bought a cabbage for this very reason!).

Lots its cheap and too much veg is a good thing.

If every last scap gets eaten you'll worry that you didn't cook enough.

Leftover roast potatoes are also great diced up and fried in an omelette for Boxing Day brunch. Other veggies can go in a vegetable soup.
