The 74-year-old, who is known as @brunchwithbabs on social media, went viral last week after divulging her go-to move for sending guests home with holiday leftovers — without giving away her Tupperware.

The 74-year-old advised using disposable cupcake tins with plastic lids
The footage showed the grandmother of eight filling the cups with various casseroles and sides before covering the tin with a plastic lid.
'[They're] the perfect serving size for leftovers. They get a little bit of everything,' she explained. 'The best part [is they] can go right in your oven for leftovers the next day.'
She removed the plastic lid from the tin and popped it into the oven to show how the containers are also a timesaver.
'The only way to do leftovers on Thanksgiving,' she wrote in the caption.
Costello, who calls herself 'everyone's grandma,' has more than 2.8 million followers on the platform thanks to her brilliant kitchen tips, tricks, and hacks that often go viral.
