Cook once and eat twice? Yes, please. Discover how easy it is to repurpose your extra chicken into a completely new lunch for the next day.
For most of us, the back-to-school season means getting back into the swing of things. But here at HelloFresh, we’re firm believers that routine doesn’t have to feel, well, routine. And with the help of dinners that double as your next-day lunch, this busy time of year can take on a whole new, deliciously efficient meaning.
But we’re not just talking about heating up “meh” leftovers. Not on our watch. That’s why these Dinner 2 Lunch™ recipes come with some fresh add-ons that make an appearance only at lunch. ‘Cause hey — the teachers may make the rules in the classroom, but YOU make the rules in the kitchen.
