Easy Dinner Ideas That Are Great Leftover

August 11, 2015

This post is sponsored by OId El Paso but the easy dinner ideas and opinions expressed here are my own.

Dinner-Ideas

I have been extremely busy the last few months. It is just part of being a mom, I suppose. My son has kept me going non-stop between birthdays, doctor appointments, play dates, etc. Because we stay so busy and on the go, I love to plan ahead for everything – including dinner. I am all about saving time on mundane things like cooking. We have been eating at home a LOT more and have been able to save a lot of money that way. Sometimes, I don’t feel like cooking lunch and dinner. It gets tiring. That’s why I love simple meals that taste great leftover! I like to overestimate when I cook so that we will have plenty left over for lunch the next day! Here are a few easy dinner ideas that taste great left over:

Tacos: We love taco night in our house! I especially like to keep the fiesta going though lunch the next day by buying plenty of beans, tortillas, lettuce, Avocados from Mexico, etc. It is so easy to warm up the left over beans and pull out the other ingredients from the fridge to make a delicious taco. Bonus points: my son loves them! I love buying the hard and soft taco kit from Old El Paso because it comes with taco seasoning as well as the shells! They are delicious and the perfect amount for our family.

Chili: My husband loves eating chili in the winter. We make a huge crock pot full of chili and eat on it all week long! It is wonderful leftover.
Soup: Soups are great because you can heat them up and they are ready to go! The only down side is that soup isn’t easy to pack up and can sometimes be messy. Especially with children.
Pasta: Also, very easy to heat up. Whether it is Mac and Cheese for my little man or Spaghetti for my hubby, it is easy to transport and great leftover!
Grilled Chicken: I love to make extra chicken so that I can cut it up and throw it on a salad for lunch the next day!
