With the exception of noodle type soups. While tatsing ok, I hate how the broth gets soaked up by the noodles. But I solved that by cooking the noodles seperate, then adding them to the bowl of soup just before warming. I also might add shreded cheese and fresh cut basil from my garden for Tuscin soups. Yum!

Susan likes to make large batches of items and freeze them. Freezer space used to be an issue, but we purchased a small freezer and keep it outside on our patio. It is about the same size as dorm refrigerator and if I recall correctly it only cost between $150-$200. It has been a great investment for us.

Hopefully those two items never get confused :yammy:

I know there was advice against cheap vacuum sealers, but I felt I should mention that I saw one today at Big Lots for $22.

You food-savers are lucky! The hubby won't eat leftovers, so I don't freeze much.

I tend to do the Trader Joe's non-processed food divided out over 5 days for eating while I'm at work. It has to be fast (assembled in 1 min or less) because I'm working nonstop and long hours these days. I do end up eating the same thing every day for a week (except for dinners) but I don't mind because I don't have time to really think about food right now, alas!

9:30 AM arrival - one nonfat TJ's Greek Honey yogurt, a handful of berries

12:00 PM 5 min break or mid-meeting - TJ's lo-carb tortilla with free-range turkey or chicken, alfalfa sprouts, cherry tomatoes, a laughing cow wedge. With 1/5 of a bag of crunchy veggies and 1 tb of either hummus or fat free tzatziki.

3:00 PM 5 min break or mid-meeting - 1/5 of whatever veggie salad I've made this week (I can't eat greens because of my blood thinner, so it's sometimes a cucumber-based salad with a little couscous, or corn and bean cilantro salad, or roasted beet salad, or fennel salad, or purple cabbage and carrot slaw.) Plus 1 serving of fruit.

6:30 PM - to fight the munchies before I can get home to dinner. 12 almonds, 4 dried berries or cherries, 1 square of dark chocolate.

I'm a veggie monster these days!

Sounds delicious to me.

Greek Honey yogurt really sounds good, how is it?

The problem with super inexpensive vacuum sealers is their seal isn't very good and air gets in.

You know, I'd really like the recipe for these... :cool:

I'll post them from home tonight, LB! :)
