Poultry
ACT 1: Cook extra chicken breasts or turkey cutlets. Cover and refrigerate half the chicken or turkey. Top the remaining half with your favorite seasonings or sauce for serving immediately.

ACT 2: The next night, slice the plain cooked chicken or turkey into strips and combine with lettuce and Caesar salad dressing for a main dish salad.

Eggs
ACT 1: Use a wide, deep pan to hard-cook enough eggs for two meals. Make egg salad sandwiches the first night.

ACT 2: For your second meal, peel, slice and serve hard-cooked eggs in a hearty main dish salad. Or make deviled eggs.

Rice
ACT 1: Prepare a hearty sauce so your rice can be served as the main dish. For example: Add cooked ground beef to tomato sauce flavoured with Italian seasoning.

ACT 2: On night two, make fried rice with your favourite veggies and a can of shrimp from your cupboard.
