I actually like it better after it's been frozen. I hope you enjoy it! I need more freezer recipes myself. I tend to just freeze soups.Julie@teachinggoodeatershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12299361735005931044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203356489467354137.post-53853205744464884692012-01-24T09:14:07.939-08:002012-01-24T09:14:07.939-08:00Thanks for sharing...

One thing I do is freeze baked macaroni and cheese made with whole wheat pasta, but only because my hubby and I are so greedy we try to eat it all the first night.

As soon as we finish dinner, we package the leftovers in single serving size Food Saver bags and throw them into the freezer. It keeps the food tasting like it was made that day. At any given time there are many different kinds of meals ready to be reheated. It is great for a busy night or for taking lunch to work.Keithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075543110533406012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203356489467354137.post-67626037267147811572012-01-23T18:00:01.677-08:002012-01-23T18:00:01.677-08:00I'm trying to do more "double and freeze&...I'm trying to do more "double and freeze" too.

Some mornings it feels like it would be easy to slip back into that habit, but I know that the rest of the day is so much easier if I don't!Julie@teachinggoodeatershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12299361735005931044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203356489467354137.post-6631661838113131652012-01-23T09:56:14.178-08:002012-01-23T09:56:14.178-08:00Our meal plan for the week:
