My food personality is “Fast and Fresh”!
Take advantage of the time you spend cooking on the weekends by cooking larger quantities and freezing some for later. In addition to our double duty meals try these tips:
- Browning ground meat for dinner? Do extra, to use in tacos later in the week.
- Baking chicken breasts? Cook two more, and then cut up later for stir-fry with vegetables and brown rice.
- Cook extra rice, put into a container, and refrigerate or freeze. On a busy night, microwave it, stirring occasionally, until heated through, then use as you would fresh.
- Chop a whole onion, even if you only need part of it right now. Store the rest for another meal.
- Grate extra cheese and store it in a zippered plastic bag in the freezer.
