My sister's comment about leftovers made me rethink my whole meal prep system

I was chatting with my sister last week while she was packing up her kids' lunches. She said she stopped cooking separate dinners for herself and just makes double of whatever her kids eat, then repurposes the extras for her lunch the next day. I always thought meal prep meant cooking on Sunday and eating the same thing for 5 days straight, which gets boring fast. She showed me how she turns leftover taco meat into a quick quesadilla or tosses extra roasted veggies into eggs for breakfast. Has anyone else found a simple way to stretch one dinner into two totally different meals?

Turns leftover taco meat into a quick quesadilla" still feels like eating leftovers twice to me.
