Since meat is expensive, even buying it in small quantities because I'm on my own, I'm trying my hardest to make sure I use any left overs. I had left over beef curry for lunch today, the second chicken breast - this time cooked in a creamy mushroom sauce - for dinner tonight (Monday) ). Tomorrow night (Tuesday) is spaghetti carbonara, Wednesday is a sausage casserole, which will also do for Thursday lunch time. I'll use the left over roast chicken ear marked for a chow mein later in the week. (Thursday)
I'll try another pinterest recipe of mini baked omelettes with the chorizo, they'll do for lunch for work and that will also use up some of the eggs. I've got lunch at a friends house on Saturday so if I make something meringue based for pudding that will help on the egg front too. I'll get a new veg box on Wednesday too, and I've surprised myself at getting through the stocks of veg we had in, but that also means another box of eggs because messing with the order can be a headache.
I've found planning ahead useful to make sure I actually eat dinner, and not fall into my student days trap of just eating toast. Writing it down somewhere (up on a blackboard in the kitchen, and now here, on the internet) is a great help too. It seems harde to cheat if you've planned ahead and committed it to being written down. If only I could make the same trick work for my research!
