Oops, You Made Too Much

The leftover meals you'll *want* to eat

My oldest has been at camp for a week and a half, and we’re all adjusting to not having her around. She’s having a blast! I, on the other hand, haven’t gotten used to being a man down at dinner, so we end up with way more food leftover at the end of the night than usual.

she is beauty, she is grace

Whether you have a kid (or kids) at camp right now too, or regularly feed fewer people, these are the dishes to keep in your back pocket. They’re easy to scale and better yet, you’ll actually look forward to eating the leftovers the next day. There’s nothing better than coming home from a long day at work and realizing you already have dinner waiting for you. (And when all else fails, make a tomato sandwich.)

Here’s what’s on the menu this week:

• Sheet Pan Salmon & Bean Salad

  • With the leftovers: Salmon & Rice Bowl with Cucumber Salad

• Sautéed Bok Choy Toast

  • With the leftovers: Sautéed Bok Choy with Rice & Eggs

• Marinated Chicken, Pita & Mediterranean Chopped Salad

  • With the leftovers: The same—but fresh!

PS - It’s Prime Week! Don’t buy shit you don’t need. I know you might be using this as an opportunity to refresh your kitchens, though, so you can find my knife recs here and the tools I love here. But don’t buy it just to buy it!
