freezing food helps us to eat a little lessand I use less space in the freezer.Having an extra freezer helps to do this.
MORE INFORMATION:
I cook up a large batch of vege's usually rice and put it in a large freezer bag.I then flatten the bag so the vege's(rice) is a thin layer,that way I can break off just the right amount that I need and it takes up less room in the freezer.

I usually double the recipes that will freeze well and then freeze the leftovers, it's great on busy days.

in them! I do get Kashi Pizza or CA Pizza Kitchen with 300 or LESS cals per 1/3 slice of pizza. I also get different veggie combos as our veggie garden isn't producing yet~still too early in the summer....I am happy SP is really helping my Healthy Eating!
MORE INFORMATION:
This time of year there are usually great sales on turkey and ham. So I buy as much as I can, cook, slice, put portions in the freezer for later use. This way, I have saved money and can eat healthy meats at a later date. Since they are already cooked, preparing them for a meal takes less time.
