I notice that a lot of you guys make something new for dinner every night of the week, while I usually plan to eat the same thing for two nights, or always seem to have leftovers for dinner at least one night. So I feel like I usually only plan about 3 or 4 meals a week, while I'm reading your menus of 5 meals/week.
Do you all generally not have leftovers? Do you take all of your leftovers for lunches?
I'm also out of the house for class one night a week - I go straight from work to class and don't get home until about 10 pm - so DH is on his own that night. He usually either has leftovers or cooks a steak (I don't eat cow) or grabs Subway or something on his way home. So I never have to worry about that one night. I guess that makes a difference.
Re: Monday munchies/menu question
We take all of our leftovers for lunch. And, my DH eats a lot, so that cuts down on how much we have leftover anyway. :P

I've gotten really good at cooking for only 2-3 people so we don't have a lot of leftovers.
If there are any it's usually only a little and G and I have them for lunch.
If there are a ton of leftovers I'll stick it in the freezer to pull out for a meal later on.
