Making homemade "fast food" on Sunday [View all]

I love to take some time on Sunday and make some stuff for the freezer to have throughout the week.

One thing I love to do is make a big pot of brown rice (I make it in the crock pot, it takes 3 hours on High!) and freeze it in cupcake pans. Then they are in pre-measured half-cup portions for quick dinners. 1 cup of frozen rice + two cups of fresh veggies in the steamer come out perfect in 8 minutes.

Am also making grilled eggplant parmesan and making sure there is some chicken and fish and fresh corn tortillas in the freezer. I am following a wheat-free diet with a minimum of processed ingredients, but I find if I take some time on the weekend to prepare and plan, weekday meals are almost as easy as take-out - and definitely healthier and less expensive.
