Not exactly, perhaps mainly because we don't tend to have enough space in our freezer to store a month of meals! But most times when I make something big like tomato sauce, soup, chilli or curry I'll make as much of it as I can be bothered to and freeze that, which means exactly as you say we've got ready meals for when we don't feel like or have the time to cook.
For example this week we had pasta bake, chilli with potato wedges, and pasta with tom sauce, all based on my tomato sauce from a couple of weeks ago because I can't be bothered to cook at the moment.
We'll probably have soup or pizza tonight and whichever we don't have on Friday, because we've got very little in the house and had no time to shop.
OK, we could do with being healthier and sticking some veg or salad in those meals (I'm thinking of sowing some rocket this weekend to see how it does) but we haven't had to go out to buy anything, the packaging is pretty minimal, and above all it's cheap but decent food.
Baking on the other hand I do as I go along, because I'm not sure how well things would freeze, and I have the time to do it and enjoy it. Haven't done any for a couple of weeks though |
