Cooking on a Budget - When making a favorite meal, make a large batch and create “frozen dinners” for you and your family. Since you are already cooking, the amount of extra work and energy cost is minimal. Or if you like, set aside a “cooking day” once a month and prepare many kinds of meals for future use. All you need are some freezer containers for the types of portions you prefer, enough freezer capacity and a little organization. Most any kind of meal will freeze well. Even many breakfast items can be prepared ahead of time and frozen. For instance, mix up a large batch of pancake mix, griddle the pancakes and freeze them. When you would like pancakes, just pull the pancakes out of the freezer, microwave and enjoy. Or make a batch of muffins and freeze them. Preparing all kinds of meals ahead of time will result in nutritious meals you and your family will enjoy, that can be pulled out of the freezer on a moments notice. And you will save a lot of money. It’s really that easy.
