Thrifty Thursday - Double Batch Cooking
Posted in Thrifty Thursday
|
My tip for this week's Thrifty Thursday entry is to cook double batches and put the extra in the freezer to pull out on those days when life is hectic and you don't know what to have for dinner, or you get home late and don't have time to prepare what you were planning on, etc. It also comes in handy if you are sick and don't feel like cooking. This saves you from stopping by the grocery store last minute and buying a premade meal or doing what I used to do, calling dh and asking him to bring a carryout home because I either ran out of time or was not feeling well enough to cook. Now I just pull a meal out of the freezer on those days. It really isn't hard to double the recipe when you are making it and it really, really pays off to have those extra meals in the freezer. |
