Look for some good simmer sauces or make from scratch. Also, if you don't have access to a microwave for lunches try a thermos or even "warm and tote". You can look for it on the web.

I do tend to fall back on pasta dishes with my schedule is tight. They're quick and easy to make, and they are also easy to reheat for lunch the next day. The problem with most meat dishes is that they're not as convenient for lunch the next day. I don't follow a low carb diet, but I do practice portion control when it comes to carb heavy meals.

I spent $32 this week in groceries and came away with a whole chicken and 1 lb of ground beef; total before coupons was $40. My meal plan for the week: Monday: whole roasted chicken/rice/veg Tuesday: breakfast for dinner (my teenage daughter loves this) and it usually turns out to be some sort of frittata or omelet Wednesday Chicken casserole (leftover chicken from Monday) with noodles, veggies, sauce baked Thursday Tacos (ground beef) Friday Soup night (cooked chicken carcass/leftover chiken), celery, carrots, with either crackers or biscuts Saturday LEFTOVERS I noticed your meal plans tend to have a lot of carbs in them and was wondering if you thought about looking at this in an alternative manner.
