This week Eric is working nights so he doesn't need leftovers for lunch. So...we will have them for dinner. I have planned four meals plus chicken salad to have for lunches (or snacks). I always plan my meals for the week based on Eric's work schedule. If he takes leftovers for lunch, I don't make him eat them for dinner, too. We save them and have a "leftover night" buffet and then clean out the refrigerator.
All these recipes are already on the blog.

Tuesday - Chicken Spaghetti, Salad, French Bread
