There are no "leftovers" at our house! We prefer to call them pre-planned meals. We buy meats on sale and I usually spend a Sunday evening cooking. I often make meat loaves, barbecued spare ribs and baked chicken. These are all proportioned to what my husband and I will eat at one meal and then sealed in our food saver bags.

We have a family of two adults and three teenagers. Any leftovers go in the freezer for lunch for my husband and I. Our lunches are the envy of the lunch crowd.
I live alone and find it hard to eat well (especially since i'm naturally thin and can eat anything). I've made Sundays my day off and spend about 1 1/2 hr cooking for the week or longer. It really doesn't take much longer to cook many meals than just one if you plan it well and shop wisely.
What containers do you use for freezing?

I need help doing this. I really want to start dropping some pounds. I heard this is a great way to do this. My question is will the food stay fresh if it is in the freezer?
Your ideas certainly save money and time. Very precious things both. I do very similar things too, it is especially worthwhile where I live because electricity is half price on weekends!
