Time Saver

Okay all you busy moms out there. Here is a great time saver I have discovered. If you eat a lot of food that calls for cooked ground meat, buy several pounds at once. (we combine ground beef, and ground turkey to be healthier) Brown all the meat together in a large skillet, then divide into storage containers and freeze. Then, when you need a pound of cooked ground meat, just pull it out of the freezer, defrost in microwave and use as the recipe calls for it. When you do this, you avoid having to thaw the meat, then cook it. It even eliminates some planning ahead. So try this and see if it works for you. Patrick just put 5 containers in the freezer for me.

I am trying to get organized and have some meals in the freezer for when I go back to work in two weeks. I bought groceries this week and ended up with TWO, yes two carts on the way out. Man my pantry is stocked!
