Meal planner - lunches

emmie

Thanks to you all you wonderful OS people I've done my first meal plan. Now I want to incorporate lunches ecomonically so that I am using some of meal before leftovers, batch cooking etc??

I make batches of soup usually from a chicken carcass & freeze it in batches to take to work for lunch, I also take leftovers from the evening before.

If you cook extra pasta, rice or potatoes with your evening meal, you can make nice salads for the next day.

omelette/fritata is particularly good too!

I take leftovers - shep pie, tuna pasta, chilli, soup etc. Today's is risotto - not sure whether to eat it hot or cold though

But I also bake a whole batch of baked potatoes and freeze them (have about 8 in my freezer at the mo). Then just take one out at night and put in fridge to defrost - at lunch zap for 2 mins and add baked beans or tuna etc
