Yes! I do the same thing! And I used to use masking tape but now I use a dry erase marker, which washes right off of containers.

I keep an inventory list on the fridge of what I have in freezer. It works as well as looking at a restaurant menu! But I have to remember….label and date containers before they get tucked away. I just use masking tape! Tacky, but it works. If you don’t, it’s “mystery dinner” night!

So glad you liked these suggestions and thanks for taking the time to write this comment! I also love freezing leftovers to save money – and save myself some sanity on a night I don’t feel like cooking!

Great suggestions, Elizabeth! In this day and time and with a not to rosy outlook, we are going to have to make some adjustments away from meat centric meals to other high protein ingredients. We are trying in our home. Meat/poultry/seafood seem to still wiggle their way in, but we are using smaller amounts of them. We also are making many more one pot/skillet meals. They go along way and leftovers freeze really well. Waste not, want not! I follow your protein/carb/veggie suggestion. Meals like you suggested are very delicious and satisfying. Keep those recipes coming!! Hope you and your family are doing well. Many thanks from your friends on the Eastern Shore of MD for your hard work! You make it easy for us.
