Referring to it as ‘Good freezer management skills does make it sound a bit over the top, but as per the last post, planning ahead and stocking up your freezer saves you loads of time and effort. Rule of thumb: you can freeze anything (well most things!).If your keen on smoothies, instead of chopping the fruit each time you have one, chop all your fruit, mix it up, separate it into sandwich bags and put them in the freezer. The best thing is that smoothies taste so much better and are thicker when the fruit is frozen (ideally let the fruit defrost for 1 hour beforehand).
For lovers of Mediterranean veg, exactly the same scenario, chop-mix-bag-freeze!
Lastly, if your put off from cooking in bulk because your worried about the leftovers, don’t be, start collecting your margarine tubs because they will come in useful here. Cooking in bulk really pays off when you can freeze the left overs. And the best thing – you will always have a choice of meals to choose from each day as well. If your really organised, get your dinner out of the freezer before you go to work, set the oven to come on at 17.15 and heat your dinner up for 30 Min’s as soon as you get in from work. Don’t tell me you don’t have enough time to do that!
Easy!!!
