CAN SHE PACK A FRIDGE OR WHAT!
Hi Everybody,

We all know what a challenge it can be to find something to eat when we are short of time. Our dietary restrictions don't allow us to find much in the way of take out...and we all know what it's like to be hungry and tempted to do something "dangerous" on our eating plan.

Anna has led the way on cooking ahead and freezing...and she has some great containers she bought from Amazon for freezing. However...if you don't have those, you can do a lot with freezer zip locks.

I've been off for summer break for over two weeks now. The first few days I was off, I cooked several things and froze them in individual servings. I use quart sized zip locks for this.

Take a look at the pic. You'll see I have just a small top of the fridge freezer. I've put several meals on just the bottom shelf which leaves two thirds of my freezer free for other things. It can be done!

One of the things I like about cooking ahead is there's no waste. I live alone, so I've found myself getting bored with something before I finish eating it. Two or three meals in a row of the same thing leaves me kind of over it, and I end up tossing the rest on garbage day.

Cooking ahead and freezing has prevented that problem because I started off with four different recipes, which provided variety right away. I plan to cook once or twice a week and freeze after I have just one meal out of it. That way I can continue to have meal choices...and zero waste.

Oh...by the way...all of these recipes are on the recipe thread in the forum. If you are new, look there for lots of great recipes...AND...for even more, go to the Beginner's Packet that Anna put together. Like Mel has often said...there's no need to go hungry...lots of ideas here!

Here's what's in my freezer now:

Mississippi pot roast

Beef Stir Fry (or...as Donna calls it...Deconstructed Egg Roll...I really like that name better)

Shrimp Gumbo

Rescue Soup with Chicken

Meat Loaf

Home made cauliflower "rice" with butter

Oven Roasted cauliflower

Note...I do NOT heat these meals up in the zip locks. I just put the frozen bags in a pan of lukewarm water until they thaw enough to get out of the bag (about ten minutes). Then I put the contents in a Pyrex
dish and heat in the microwave.

Easy enough to make a quick salad or saute some veggies to go along with it...and...viola! A tasty meal in a flash that's protocol friendly.

Love,

Karen
