The Freezer Is Your Friend

     A couple of years ago I bought a freezer.  It usually stays pretty full with food.  I spend a little more money keeping the freezer full but in turn it makes my meal prep a lot simpler.  Eating the same thing five days in a row has never bothered me so cooking a large batch of stuff and freezing it is right up my ally.  Individual meals in small containers pulled from the freezer makes mealtime fast and simple with very little clean up.  An entree  and vegetable in a small container then throw it in the freezer.  I usually don't even label the containers, treating the meals as though they were pot luck.  These homemade meals are my answer to today's store bought frozen meals only they are better and cheaper.  This brilliant  strategy for large amounts of leftovers works better than forcing oneself to eat everything up before it goes bad in the fridge.  Budget friendly meals, enjoying variety and not making yourself miserable is easy when you remember the freezer is your friend.
