Do you sometimes wonder “wow, I loved this dinner but how can I make this into something new for lunch tomorrow?” Well, if you saw my post yesterday on dinner under 30 minutes Stuffed Bell Peppers, check this out to see how you can turn the extra into something exciting for lunch the next day.

Southwest Salad! Start out with your favorite lettuce, add a handful of shredded chicken, corn, black beans, bell peppers and seasoned rice. Top off with your favorite salsa for your dressing and here you go, lunch that is portable, healthy, interesting and on a budget. As a wife and mom of a family of 5, I am all about stretching a meal and a budget. This dinner (stuffed bell peppers – see prior post for details) that originally cost $15 has fed 4 for dinner and 2 for lunch (and I still have 1 whole chicken breast for another meal).  Hope you enjoy!
