- On Sunday, also prepare a large batch of potato salad to serve on both Sunday and Monday and make a few extra hard-boiled eggs to make egg salad for easy lunches.
- Prepare extra taco meat, refried beans, and salsa on Tuesday to make a taco pizza later in the week. Feel free to take a shortcut and purchase canned refried beans.
- Use toppings from Tuesday night's tacos to top the taco pizza.
- Make extra rice and serve with both the chicken and broccoli and chicken and bok choy.
- Feel free to use any veggies you like for each of the stir-fries.
