:hungry: I am single with 2 children and when I make a meal I usually try to have leftovers. Before I left them in the fridge because I just ate on them until they were gone. Now that I am banded I know meals will last a lot longer (and I want to cook some ahead to have easy choices accessible!). Do you freeze yours in freezer bags? Or those plastic containers? I want to freeze them in a serving size, so was thinking those 1 cup Ziploc or Glad containers. Has anyone used those to freeze in portions? I want it to be easy to go from freezer to micro if possible.

Thanks!

I use the glad or ziploc containers. When I make stew or Soup I measure out about 3/4 of a cup. I take them to work frozen in the morning and they are mushy by lunch. I also use them for leftovers and they work fine.

For my craisins, pumpkin seeds, etc, I measure 1/4 cups and put them in the ziploc snack bags.

Sorry but have to say this. ,.... Um,.... wait for it,... a FREEZER!!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha I kill me! LOLOL!!!!

Penni60 - you crack me up! :faint: lololol

I've got lots of pyrex containers with plastic lids. I'm sure you guys have pyrex over there right? It probably came from there, lol. Anyway you can get round ones, square ones, big ones and small ones and they're fantastic because you've got the lid but its a glass dish so can go straight to oven, microwave and onto the table. They cost a bit more than cheap plastic containers but they're fabuluous. We have little single serve square and round ones and I might make a lasagne or casserole and freeze singly and Doug just takes them to work. And I've got big ones for entire family meals.

I love, love, love the Glad plastic containers! I bought the 7/8 Cup and 1/2 Cup ones and they are the perfect sizes. I eat out of the 7/8 Cup ones and use the 1/2 Cup ones to measure my food with! LOL No more having to wash that 1/2 C measuring cup every meal. They are so cheap that I just add to the collection or replace them as needed.

Penni60 :confused: I guess I didn't realize how the title sounded! :loco: LOL!

Thanks...I love those Glad containers too and have been using the 1/2 cup ones all the time (and great for kids too!).

Thanks for answering! :eek:

We really like our FoodSaver vacuum sucker thing - really helps keep food longer in the freezer, and since there are only two of us, it's a real help.

Tupperware and Pampered Chef are my favorite friends!!

PuddinPie uses this. I've seen some of her posts about recipes and that sucker thing. I want one! *whines*

Ugh, I have a food sucker thing. I wrestled that damn food sucker thing for months. Now it is sitting in the cabinet and untouched for 2 years now. Goes in the garage sale next week. Maybe ebay. It just doesn't suck and seal right. Damn thing.
