I just had a baller idea this morning: I recently bought some SouperCubes silicone freezer mold things, so I could portion and freeze foods. Been using it for soups, and recently beans + protein for home made burrito bowls.

If I put pasta sauce into the 2 tbsp/30 ml SouperCubes, I can make my own microwavable pasta meals real quick!

Just boil some pasta to al dente, freeze on a non-stick sheet in a single layer, and portion into bags w/ sauce cubes.

It's an instant "Bertolli skillet meal" that is home made.

So yeah, now I'm on the lookout for cooked meals that freeze well.

There's a trend online that call "freezer meal prep" meals that basically are "pop fresh ingredients into a ziploc, freeze" + "dump bag into skillet" which ... works, but is a little more work than what I want right now.

I really want throw-it-in-the-microwave, then eat simplicity.

@xabean Egg muffins for breakfast. Fried rice for lunch, also things like stewed chuck roast. Taco meat. I dividual grilled burgers. Pulled pork shoulder. Rice freezes really well, plan meals around that.

@Sempf yeah I bought some pulled rotisserie chicken (in a big family pack tub) and portioned it into 1/2 cup portions, and froze. I've also got some pulled pork that I need to do the same with.

@xabean We grab two chickens often when we are at a big box store, monster it for lunch, pull apart the rest, and freeze it. Works well. Wrap it in a tortilla with a little cheese and salsa (or whatever) and done.
