That’s funny that you say that about roast chicken because I talked about the same thing on my blog last month (http://hopieskitchen.blogspot.com/2008/04/sunday-roast-chicken.html).

Great minds think alike :-) Roast chicken is one of my favorite foods and it goes a long way. I’ll have to try your salad next time with the leftovers. It looks absolutely delicious!

I’m a big fan of the leftovers for lunch option too. It’s much healthier, cheaper and yummier than buying lunch most of the time.

Hi Robin,
I love taking leftovers for lunch too! I often make dinners that will also make great lunches like pasta or cous cous. The money you save is a bonus, but the best thing is that you know exactly what’s in your lunch – no nasty added preservatives or fats.

It’s such a good idea… when I first started meal planning and making leftovers that I knew I’d love for my work-lunches, I started saving so much money—and stopped feeling bad about throwing stuff out!

Hi Nina,
I agree, the Love Food Hate Waste website has great tips for measuring portions and recipes for leftover ingredients. Give this salad a try next time you roast a chicken, you won’t regret it!

I think many people have a problem with portion sizes and we always tend to cook too much = hence the leftovers…

I love the look of that salad though…..

Hi Din,
Thank you those tomatoes tasted as good as they looked!

Hey Jude,
Well, get your capable hands into the kitchen girly :)

Hi Toontz,
An extra freezer – I’m jealous! That would be so handy.

Hi Tangobaby,
Dijon would work perfectly, even grainy mustard would work a treat.

Hi Deborah,
That’s an excellent idea! Planning only a few days at a time is perfect if you don’t have a regular routine. Glad you like the salad – give it a try, it’s delicious.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks, I was very lucky with the light that day.

Hi Kim,
Lots of practice! I never tire of photographing food – luckily hubby is very patient waiting for his meals ;)

Salad looks absolutely divine! Your images are looking pretty good also. What do you do to get such great shots?

I used to plan a week of meals and shop, but then I realized that life too often gets in the way and meals weren’t being made and food was going to waste. Now I only plan 3 days at a time, that way, if something happens and I don’t cook dinner one night, the groceries are still good for a few more days. This has really helped me!!

This salad sounds wonderful!

That looks so delicious! I have to try this. I don’t have hot English mustard so a little Dijon will have to do…

Beautiful picture. I hate wasting food, too. I would be lost without my extra freezer in the garage!
