    Chicken salad?
    Make a pot of soup and split into a few containers


    I like to cook a big pack of chicken on Sunday and put it in the fridge so I always have chicken on hand to throw something together for lunches. Or make an extra serving of whatever dinner you're cooking and take your leftovers

    I frequently make a big pot of soup and portion it out for the week. It usually makes enough to eat for a week and freeze some. Add some fresh veggies on the side, and I'm done. On days where I'm totally lacking in motivation, I'll take a Greek yogurt, a banana, and a serving of peanuts for lunch.

    I like grilling up a few chicken breasts. Then dividing the meat into several zip-lock baggies and storing in the freezer. That way I have individual salad portions - Caesar, Taco, Harvest, Asian - so many salad combos.

    This week, I prepared Rainbow Chicken, a recipe I found on Pinterest. Very tasty and easy to prepare. (I divided servings into 5 portions so I would have enough for the whole week.) I love my salads for lunch but it was nice to have something warm today for a change. I added just a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette (less than a tsp.) because I was afraid it would be dry. My favorite part is the roasted grape tomatoes!!

    I make a huge pot of soup over the weekend. If I'm not in the mood for soup (rarely) or have really good leftovers, I will take them.

    I cook, divide, and freeze. In the morning I can decide what I want from the many options in my freezer.

    I always try to cook extra at dinner, and use the leftovers for lunch the next day.
