I'm so proud of myself...
Last night I went grocery shopping and cooked up enough food for the next 3 weeks!!
I made:
Chicken Sorrento over brown rice
Chicken fajitas over FF refried beans
Uncle John's Chili
Meatloaf with roasted green beans
Salmon patties w/curry sauce over brown rice with roasted broccoli
I put it all in single servings into that "disposable" tupperware and FILLED my freezer. There are 30 meals in there! Yea! I love it when I do that, then all I have to do is make breakfast and remember my snacks. I don't get tired of food very easy so this totally works for me. On days when I don't want one of those options I just make some soup or something! Just wanted to share...oh yeah, and also, I'm down .5 lbs putting me at 200 exactly. Only a little more to Onederland! (maybe on Monday, that's my weigh-in day anyway!)

WOW!! Talk about meal-planning - that is truly AMAZING!!
After working in food service I get SO leary of bacteria, cross contamination, food safety, etc. so I have never been brave enough to attempt freezing. The last thing I need is salmonella poisioning the day before we move LOL - so I want to do this right! Any advise ladies???

My mom has that cook once a month cookbook or whatever so I just read through the first chapter to learn all about freezing foods.

MichaelAnn,
Don't forget
Allison,
This post inspired me! I spent Saturday night at home by myself cooking for 3.5 hours. I loved the idea of this, so I decided to do the same thing. I live alone, so mine will probably last me a couple of months. I went out and bought several packages of those "disposable" containers, and now my tiny freezer is busting at the seams.
Here's what I made.
Turkey meatloaf, with spinach & lf feta in it
Spaghetti squash and black bean casserole, my own concoction
eggplant lasagna
breakfast veggie quiche bars
black bean soup
hummus
gazpacho (I didn't freeze that one)
Grilled plain chicken breast, cut into strips.
I'm so excited about not having to cook when I finally get home at night.
Thanks for the great ideas.

I'm glad I inspired you!
LOL, my husband might have a slight problem with that! I'd be happy to cook for you anytime though, but only if you don't mind a DIRTY kitchen when I'm done.
