With this #DinnerTonight #LunchTomorrow meal plan, you’ll cook once and eat twice. This meal plan maps out 7 days of delicious dinners, plus 5 days of quick and easy lunches for the work week made using dinner leftovers. By making a little extra at dinner each night and packing it up before you go to bed, you’ll give yourself at least 10 extra minutes each morning to enjoy a cup of coffee and ease into the day. Plus, having lunch all ready to go guarantees you’ll have a healthy meal to look forward to that’s much cheaper than an expensive takeout lunch. Try the leftover-lunch combos in this plan or make your own tasty creations.
Start this plan on Sunday so you’ll have the 5 lunches for the work week.
