I love to cook and I love to freeze meals. It's always nice on a busy day to not have to do a lot of extra work. Days like that is when my freezer is my friend. I actually just upgraded to a huge upright freezer today, I love it!
Well, earlier this month we had some family over and per Anthony's request I made tacos. We ended up with quite a bit of leftover meat, refried beans, and rice/bean side. So I put it all together in a ziploc bag and stuck it in the freezer for later.

Tonight we are having freezer burritos, from the above referenced ziploc bag mix that is. All I have to do is pull out the ziploc bag, defrost, and assemble with some flour tortillas and a little cheese. So easy and you're not throwing away a bunch of leftovers. Plus it's a nice cheap meal to use at the end of the month (especially if your at the end of your food budget like me)
I hate throwing food out. It feels so wasteful, so I try to repurpose food when I can. I freeze individual portion sized meals for Matthew to take to work. I'll also freeze small amounts of meat to add to quesidillas for the kids lunch or individual portions of veggies for me to have with my lunch. Don't get me wrong we actually like eating leftovers but this was on a weekend and I knew we wouldn't eat all that was left within the next couple of days, so that's when things go in the freezer.
The only thing I don't like about this kinda cooking is about 4:30, when I normally start cookng, I'm walking around the kitchen feeling like I should be doing something, but have nothing to do. So I may just organize my pantry tonight, who knows.
