This Sparked Me!

I save time, money and calories by cooking most meals at home. One thing that makes it easy to prepare a quick meal after work is to cook extra staples ahead of time and freeze them.

MORE INFORMATION:
I buy large packages of lean ground beef, cook it all at once, drain and rinse it, and freeze in pint containers. Or roast a chicken or turkey or bake chicken breasts when you're at home, then shred and freeze them. Having these staples at my fingertips lets me prepare a quick meal any time!

    I do this too and it's great for myself but also so that my kids can easy make meals too! I buy meat at the stores when I see stuff on sale, then when making a meal, cook up a bunch of it and freeze some. Easier and healthier than having my husband stop on his way home and cheaper too!!

    I do that too & it's so handy especially when you are tired & don't want to start a meal from scratch because of the time factor.
