leftovers

Here's a tip that didn't make my list:

Our baking dish (actually a lasagna dish) is too big for 2 pieces of meat (chicken breast, pork chop, small steak) and too small for 4.

So all my dinners involve preparing 3 pieces of meat. We each eat one piece for dinner, and I put the 3rd in the fridge for lunch the next day.

My favorite next-day lunch involves cutting up the previous evening's dinner into a chicken salad or ham salad (just chop up dinner and mix with mustard or wasabi mayo). Wrapped cold in a pan-heated flower tortilla. Yum!

If you have stuffed chicken breast for dinner -- which I recommend -- you get an extremely interesting chicken salad wrap the next day.
