I was inspired after talking to my friend in PA last Friday.  She is an 
excellent cook and has made many great dinners over the years.  We were 
chatting and she mentioned for dinner she had a bowl of cereal. 
Coincidentally, that same evening I had crackers and cheese.

Most times when I cook a real meal, I make enough for a couple of 
nights.  I try to break it up every other night.  I sometimes buy a 
package of green beans that you nuke for 5 minutes. Easily enough for a 
few portions.  One portion though, is cut up into small pieces and added 
to salad.  To dress it up a bit more, I'll cut some grapes in haf and 
add them too.
