[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good for you, OP. In addition to meal planning, Come up with a few meals that you always have on hand so you can still make dinner at home when things get off track. We can always pull out beans and rice or toss an easy quiche into the oven. Breakfast for dinner! When I make spaghetti and meatballs, I always make extra meatballs to freeze. Same with chili and any leftover taco meat. (Those are quick to defrost.) [b]If you’re a Costco shopper, buy a bag of their frozen salmon[/b]. It defrosts in 30 minutes and cooks in 8. Add a vegetable or salad and you have a meal![/quote] One caution about this: sometimes the pre-packaged frozen fish is more expensive than buying in bulk and freezing yourself. But I agree that keeping some frozen foods to heat up on weeknights is more convenient and cost-effective than ordering out. [/quote]
