Tired of paying for hot meals during your lunch break which leave you broke and wondering how many calories you just ate? Do you love to cook but don’t want to waste food by not eating the leftovers? For years now I have been freezing meals I cook and bringing them to work almost every day to eat. Above is a picture of a typical meal I bring to work in my lunch box. I put it in my lunch box frozen with a salad and drink and everything stays cold until my lunch break. I usually keep two or three different meals in my freezer so I don’t have to eat the same thing everyday. A lot of the meals I make are fairly inexpensive and easy to make.
I also look for healthier choices such as gluten free pastas and frozen vegetables. I also look for the best value in my choices. The above meal is a six pack of chicken parmesan in sauce. I add pasta and zucchini and more spaghetti sauce. I do not cook the chicken all the way through but just enough so I can separate the chicken and spoon the sauce. Many of the recipes on my Dump in Cooking page I freeze up for my lunches.
