Gladware and other inexpensive plastic containers make bringing food to others that much easier. It's not just the convenience, it's that they can go from freezer to microwave with ease.
When I plan meals, I always plan enough for leftovers. I then assemble one or two meals for the freezer so my husband can take them into work and reheat them in the microwave for lunch. This saves an unbelievable amount of money because he doesn't have to buy lunch out, and ya gotta admit, would you rather have a cold sandwich or a roast beef, mashed potato, gravy and vegetable lunch? Yea, I thought so.
Because I always have these frozen entrees in my freezer, it was so easy to respond to the meal ministry call for a woman who's husband was in the hospital. It's not easy to cook for one, but it's easy to cook extra and freeze. Plus, the variety can be so much better than just casseroles or soups.
Today I brought a generous portion of cheesy chicken & rice casserole with a nice chopped salad on the side. What can you think of to set aside the next time you make dinner for your family?
