Because my daughter has been sick for part of last week, I didn't get around to blogging, but thankfully, she's feeling much, much better now.
I didn't get to spend as much time as I had hoped gathering recipes for my first run at making my own frozen dinners. I had envisioned finding things like a low-fat lasagna, a way to make lean burgers on the go, etc. Instead, here is my list for the first one:
• Ground turkey meat loaf and veggies.
• Crustless cheeseburger quiche. (Also made with ground turkey.)
• Hamburger stew.
• Beans (per suggestion from Steve in my last post.)
Ideas I've seen online include labeling and dating everything before putting it in the freezer. I don't know what the best marker for that is, because it needs to be washable so that I can reuse the dishes. However, labeling won't be absolutely necessary until I have enough stuff in the freezer that I forget what's what. I've got time to figure it out.

For your labeling issue: how about a piece of tape with the writing on it. Time to change, just peel the writing off. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty good idea! Thanks, Steve!
