Save some for later!

When preparing many types of food, it’s really just as easy to make two of the main dish as it is one. Keep some extra aluminum foil pans to put your “double” in. Put masking tape on the covered top of the dish. Write the name of the dish and the date. On days that you just can’t get to everything, or one of the kids is sick, you’ve got something that your family likes to pull out of the freezer. If your best buddy has a crisis one day you could take supper to her with no problem. Another hint is to use your own container, line it with foil and then add your food. Put it in the freezer until it’s frozen throughout. Then lift the foil and food out of the dish, put it in a zip-lock bag, label and freeze. When you are ready to cook it just drop the frozen food in foil back into the same dish it was prepared in and bake. Voila! No washing of pots!
