Cooking for 1 or 2
Freezing For One
Or Two
Wrap serving size
portions of bacon, hot dogs, chicken, and other
larger than needed
packages of meat in heavy duty aluminum foil,
label and freeze.
Individual portions will be ready to go when you
need them.
This way you can buy in bulk and reap the savings!
Don't forget to
LABEL the packages and include what it is,
how many there are
and the date you bought it.
To Make a Vegetable
Packet
Start with one sheet
(18x24-inches) of heavy duty aluminum foil, place
fresh vegetables
on the upper half of the foil and fold foil up to
form a packet.
Now fold over about 1/2 to 1 inch of each side
and the top to seal
it. If cooking vegetable packets and main
dish packets in
the same oven, the cooking time may take
five minutes longer
than the recommended recipe time.
Ice Cubes and
Foil Packets
Some vegetables
need a little extra water to steam them to perfection.
For these vegetable
packets, just add one or two ice cubes. The foil
packet holds in
the heat while the ice cubes melt, providing just
enough moisture
to cook the veggies until crisp-tender.
Plan Your Meals
for the Week
You may think that
you are not organized enough to plan what
you're going to
eat several days in advance. You plan what
you're going to
wear to the party next week, don't you?
Eating is a bit
more important than a party, so let's stop
making excuses and
start doing it! So, on the day you
usually do your
weekly shopping, before you sit down
to make your shopping
list (you DO make a shopping
list, don't you?),
decide what you want to eat for the week.
