Freezer Cooking for One or Two

I had a great time sharing about freezer cooking with the West Side Joy Belles tonight.  What a great group of women!  Thank you for the invitation to share with you.

One of the things that came up at tonight's talk was about freezer cooking for one or two.  There are lots of recipes that can easily be divided into portions for smaller families. 

• If you make soup, divide it into a few quart size freezer bags or flash freeze it in muffin tins. 
• Sloppy Joes can be flash frozen in muffin tins as well. 
• Shredded meat for sandwiches can be frozen in pint or quart size bags. 
• As you look at the recipes you enjoy making, think about if you could divide it into two smaller casseroles instead of one big one.  Eat one and freeze one for later.  You may need to lessen the baking time if you use more shallow dishes. 

I am so excited about tonight's discussion!  The possibilities are endless.  You could start a freezer swap with other women who have one or two to cook for as well.  A swap could add lots of variety to your meals and allow you to cook some of those favorites that you may have decided are too big for just one or two.  Perhaps a swap is not your thing.  You could share the smaller portions you make with others.  What a great way to provide meals to someone who lives alone and is unable to cook for him/herself!

Let us know if you find ways to include freezer cooking for one or two in your life.
