It's been forever since I've posted a menu plan. Thus, the weekly menu has not been what it ought to be. I notice I tend to desire to eat out more when the menu isn't planned, which in turn causes a higher cost in our food budget. That needs to get nipped in the bud!

My lunch leftovers were at least 25% better than the original dish. Wednesday Leftover chicken katsu, freshly fried, because I employed the trick of breading all the chicken but not frying all of it the first night. Two words we do not tend to use for leftover fried chicken!) I think Sonia and I got it all figured out, though.

There’s a reason why menu planning is #1 on this list. When I plan a menu, my spending is generally under control. When I don’t plan, I make multiple trips to the store, eat out too often, and most certainly blow our budget. Also, I plan for everything–breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinners.

And I am proud to say that I have single-handedly eaten almost the entire container, largely by eating a bowl of greens with my breakfast.
