That works ... and make use of your freezer!
While I live alone, I cook a meal with planned-overs.
That could mean making extra rice, and freezing it in single size packets to mix in or serve with other meals.
Or likewise for pasta.
Most soups can be frozen too.
A hamburg hash, the extra gets frozen into single portions, ready to zap in the microwave.
This time of the year ... turkey dinners into the freezer from leftovers. Again, ready to zap.
And so on with other
Company here ... I might bring out two or three of the singles to put together in a soup pot or combine in a casserole dish etc. Or I just make a bigger meal, with plans for all those wonderful leftovers!
Makes for some pretty easy but quality eating when I don't want to cook!
Works perfectly when I want to sit and sew ............
