Time Saving Leftovers

I have a really hard time cooking for one.  I live with my boyfriend but he does not eat 2/3 of what I cook anyway, so I basically cook for myself most of the time.  This actually works to my advantage in the form of leftovers.  Today I had leftovers for both lunch and dinner, leaving extra time to do food prep for tomorrow, specifically hard boil a dozen eggs for breakfasts and marinade pork for tomorrow's dinner.

Today's meals (7/26/12)


I really enjoyed all my food today and I'm looking forward to some grilled pork and fresh corn on the cob tomorrow.  Yum!  When classes resume in the fall, planned leftovers are going to be my savior, especially on Mondays when I have 13 hour days of work and class.  My nutritional guru, Tosca Reno (author of the Eat Clean Diet series), is a big advocate of planned leftovers and I think she's on to something.  Not only do you get to taste something delicious more than once, but you do not have to cook every day, which is great when you are a busy grad student like me.
