Meal Planning Ideas

For instance, once I make rice or pasta for one dinner, I’ll go forward and make sufficient for 2, three, and even 4 dinners! If I would like it for that week, I’ll simply retailer the additional servings within the fridges. If I don’t want it for one more week or two, I’ll freeze it! Use technique for freezing pasta so it doesn’t get soggy.
I additionally attempt to use related substances inside per week so I don’t have to purchase as many single use objects. This reduces waste and helps us eat up all the pieces within the fridge.
