I cook with it quite a bit and try to keep it in my freezer at all times. I cleaned and chopped up the vegetables and divided them into 6 freezer bags. And if I'm roasting a chicken then you can be certain that I will also make a batch of homemade chicken stock. bag of carrots for 79 cents, 3 lb.

As I was flushing a very old, forgotten-about, slimy Greek salad down the disposal last week, it occurred to me that I have gotten a little lax about leftovers at our house. (I I didn't compost the salad, because it had feta cheese mixed in) We certainly eat leftovers, but by the end of last week, we were (1) lazy and (2) lazy.

I have a grandmother who would never dream of buying containers to store leftovers or food for the freezer. Maybe it was the screw on lids that attracted me and how they were so uniform and neatly fit in my freezer or cupboards. It seemed a bit wasteful. They can be used for storing anything and not just in the kitchen.

Institute a 'Raid the Fridge' Night One night a week, raid the fridge to get rid of leftovers. Set the leftovers up buffet style. Everyone's plate might look different, but you'll at least use up the leftovers and reduce the waste. Utilize the Freezer Freeze those leftovers. Stockpile in the freezer.

Instead of using aluminum foil or plastic wrap to cover casseroles and leftovers, store the food in re-usable containers. I re-use pasta sauce jars for my homemade chicken stock , or my Roasted Roma Tomato Sauce , or my homemade sugar-free applesauce and store them in my freezer. I have 4 different sizes. Cracks me up every time.

A couple of notes to keep in mind: I keep a moderately stocked freezer with marked down meat , loss leaders , batch pre-cooked meat , cooked beans , homemade baked goods and sauces. I made a large batch of homemade sugar-free applesauce in March that I stored in the freezer. Honestly the Oreos are still in my freezer.
