Sunday Feast Leftovers
April 08 2013
Making lunches throughout the week can be both stressful and time consuming. Quite often you’re left with little choice but to grab something on the go. This often means you’re spending money you shouldn’t and eating something that’s not healthy.
That’s why it is so important to plan your meals ahead of time. And, while planning ahead, plan for leftovers. Leftovers are the easiest lunch there is. What could be more convenient than taking some leftover supper and eating it for lunch?
That’s why at our house I always plan on a big dinner for Sunday evenings even though there are only 3 of us in our family. This week, even with visitors staying with us, we still had plenty of leftovers for lunches. I decided on a whole roast chicken which I cooked on the rotisserie and a quinoa salad with as many vegetables as I could cook. Sure it took a couple hours to cook the chicken but as it roasted away, I leisurely prepped the veggies for the quinoa salad while chatting with our guests while we sipped our wine.
This week’s quinoa salad featured a whole bunch of fresh vegetables such as asparagus, beet greens and spinach. It was great! I highly recommend quinoa salads as a starch for dinner and as a lunch item on its own; so filling and nutritious.
