CAIn CAIN!!!
I freeze my soup only as i make a big pot..
regular food stays 3 days in fridge. I cook a lot sundays as i dont cook before i go to work on Mon N Tues (im on feet for entire shift..not sitting or standing but moving abt ..i am 62 n refuse do ‘double’ shift at this age!! .ie to cook n clean at home then go to work at 4 pm.
Wed is my rest day..i avoid doing anything..even drs appointment ie if i can help it so we eat lef leff on wed..i just laze around, catch up with phone calls n msgs n em etc n missed tv shows .
sometimes i do freeze dal as i cook a big pot of that n my girls sometimes stop by without notice..so this way they have something..i can easily whip up a quick roti or bake for them.
sometimes i freeze a lil GY greens for big daughter as she enjoys GY pumpkin , seim n katahar..so if i cook these n i know she is coming over later in the week..i would freeze a sml bowl for her
NO TV dinner!!! now way!! I have NEVER eaten TV dinner or FROZEN meals from supermarket ..I cook from scratch n eat home food 99% of time..we do take out once in a while..n I only eat out out special occasions only . Hubby loves home cooked food..GYese dishes. Older daughter eats healthy n indulges in her fave GY food whn she visits. Lil one loves junk food..n im an international cook for her..( yest i made shepherds pie just for her alone!! ..but opted for minced turkey n topped with mashed cauliflower, making it a bit more healthy. I often make pizza for her but from scratch..even the dough! I go easy on cheese n i roast lot-of veggies..so again it-is pizza but much healthier than store bought)
For myself..im on low carbs because few yrs ago, my bld sugar went up..so i started to watch carb intake..I was never into junk food n too much sweet/desert,( except our Gyese pastries n sweets but i am careful with these now.)
I make a huge pot of lentil sweet potato soup n freeze in sml containers ...then i steam or sautee or roast veggies sep to last 1 day or 2 so it is fresh(as i dont like mushy veggies.) I cook my protein sep..egg (boiled. Scrambled n make veggie quiche often ) ..i bake salmon n cook chkn to last for 2-3 days n I always have black bean salad but i add a lot more stuff in it ..so I Make a batch n it lasts for abt 5 days in fridge
PS ..Whn me pickney dem was at home..i was cooking everyday esp d lil 1..she thought i ran a full time restaurant ..lol
But now me just relax n tek it easy .
whn they notify me ahead..i does cook food that they like..n i cook extra for lil 1 to take..big girl eats here n thats it..no doggy bag
