Be a Tortoise, Not a Hare

Remember the saying "Slow and steady wins the race?" Turns out it's true. Slow down at work, with your partner and just in general. You may be surprised at how much sweeter life is when you aren't looking at it at warp speed.

Stretch one meal into two

I like to roast a chicken and then use what I don't eat of the chicken to make a chicken soup.

Another thing I'll do is make a lentil soup, eating for dinner one night with a salad and then mix the lentils with pasta for dinner another night.

There are so many things you can do like this. Add peas to leftover rice from take-out, use the extra pasta you get from an entree and mix it with sauteed vegetables or clam sauce, use leftover veggies to make an omelette or quiche.
