Sheesh. And I thought I was lazy! I'm lazy, but I want the food to be good, and the frozen dinners aren't good. Not that I haven't resorted to them in emergency situations like leaving them for my hubby when I go away or if I'm sick.

But then (if I take the car and he's going to be stranded here) I usually cook gallons of some hearty soup and maybe a stew and put them into plastic baggies and freeze them.

I'm big on making huge quantities of hearty soup and freezing quart containers or baggies of it. The one we're eating now is a chicken stock, plus leeks, onion, garlic, rutabaga, yams, carrots, cabbage, cannellini beans (not a lot), parsley, lemon, grated lemon peel, rosemary, a little thyme, a little sage, vinegar, a teeny bit of sugar, and there must have been something else I threw in. It all went into the stock without separate cooking except the garlic, which I did saute in olive oil first and put in toward the end. Like, 20 cloves of it.
