Double your meal, save time!

Hello everyone! Here is a silly little thing that I do a lot! When I have time, I make double the recipe of whatever I am making for dinner and freeze half of it in a container. I put a little label on it that says what it is and the date it was made. This way when I have had a rough day, have a party, or just don't feel like cooking all I have to do is pull out a container and viola! Home cooked meal(Heehee)is served! Then I usually just whip up a side of veggies or a salad real quick. My freezer currently is stocked with pizza hotdish, scallop potatoes and ham, chicken noodle soup, pea soup, different spaghetti sauces, and a chicken cheese rice broccoli dish.

Yes! I don't do it as often as I would like however, it is a great way to save time. Done correctly and it can save money also because you can buy the ingredients in bulk.

I totally agree with that!

I do that a few times a week! Some of the frozen meals I keep and some I give to my daughter (she picks them up every 2-3 weeks).

I do that too. Make a bigger batch of things like stew or lasagna. Lasagna you can freeze individual portions. Or if you have left overs of pork roast or whateever you can make a different meal with it the next day.

Yeah, we do this too! Great idea!

Our family of five is mostly 2-3 now due to scheduling... so I cook my regular batches of dinner and make frozen dinner out of the leftovers!

Great to come home and have something ready to go if you don't feel like cooking.

sure! You live close enough to me that you can pick some up too! LOL

Jenelle stopped tonight and picked up some fresh ham potpie that I made, some snickerdoodle bars and 2 bowls full of frozen veggie soup. She misses my homecooking!
