Now that I am a widow, I still cook as if for 4 people. I eat one and freeze 3. Therefore I always have beef stew, swiss steak, meatloaf, mac/cheese, pasta casseroles, soups, sliced turkey, etc. ready to heat and only have to cook about once a week to keep a variety of healthy foods in the freezer. As long as the dish does not contain cream it freezes well.
