This cuts back on your meal time and planning. It's kind of like when you go to a friend's house to eat and you say, "oh this is sooo good"! I think one of the major elements as to why it is so good is because WE DIDN'T HAVE TO MAKE IT. Well when you plan your meals out, making the second and third one is effortless and leaves you time to actually enjoy the meal instead of rushing around cooking it.

 

Here is a start: I have made a list of a few meals that work great with this 2 for 1 concept. When you make the top item of the list, consider making a few batches of the same thing choosing one, two or three of the following meals below it during the month in your plan.
