Nativity Fast Menu

Here is a Weekly Guide that lends itself to variation.

Tips:

1. At the beginning of each week, make a big batch of salad that keeps well for easy lunches. Kale salads (savory or sweet) and cabbage salads (Mexican Coleslaw, Oriental) keep well. 

2. Also make a big batch of soup (save the pasta and rice to add by the day, if your soup has those ingredients).

3. Try to make double ingredients on one day that you'll use some of tomorrow. (Quinoa casserole one night and Quinoa Pizza Balls for lunch the next day; or rice with stew one night with leftovers as stir fry later in the week)
