You'll eat good food.
You'll save a ton of money, too.

That entire month's meals cost me about $70.  The only thing I need to do is stop and get some salad/veggies once in a while.

So, do you freeze the individual servings separately or all together?

Separately.  I buy little loaf pans like these...


Or little pie pans like this...

That's some of the tamale pies that I made back on April 9th.

I usually cook things fully and reheat using cheap glad or ziplock plastic microwaveable containers.  We only have microwaves at work.  But for things that don't reheat well we do put things in aluminum containers for baking off at a later date.  Mac and Cheese is a big one.  I also just made about 6 gallons of marinara with tomatoes and veggies from our garden.  This'll last me about six months.  We freeze them in quart ziplock freezer bags.  Plus with pasta you can cook off a ton of that too and freeze in individual portions and add the sauce and just microplane some romano or parmesan on top.

Wow. Thanks a bunch on these ideas guys. I'm supposed to go buy some groceries this weekend but I hate never buying enough or too much because it will go bad. I'm really excited to make all my favourite foods now without worrying about having too much! ^_^

Just remember some things don't freeze that well.  And some things don't reheat well.  I've found that just about any fish needs to be eaten immediately and shouldn't be reheated.

I think that should be Office Rule Number 1...no nuking fish in the office microwaves.

I want to slap people who do that.

Wouldn't that bump the current rule Number 1 (Burning popcorn in the office microwave is grounds for justifiable homicide) down to #2?

I might be able to live with that.

I got this horrible visual of a fishbowl and a poor goldfish, well you get the picture, and then I read my post directly above and remembered what we were talking about.

Peep jousting on the other hand, I whole-heartedly endorse.

And no making popcorn in the office microwave either, because nobody seems to know how to stop it it before it burns and makes the whole office smell like shit for a week.
