Menu Planning #2

This is the menu I’ll be (trying!) to use from January 4-17. There are a lot of sandwiches on the menu for these two weeks because of our travel schedule. We are trying to stick to our food budget by preparing our own lunches, and sandwiches keep the best when traveling.

When I posted my last menu, a friend commented on the number of times I use LEFTOVERS! I thought everyone used leftovers the same way. It is my opinion that leftovers loose their texture, taste, and desirability after more than two days, so we always try to eat leftovers within that time. Sometimes, I will freeze the remaining portion of a meal; however, not all meals can be frozen. That being said, I do like leftovers because it saves me time.
