Thanks to my friend Stephanie, lunchtime pasta requests are made easier!
I always seem to have leftover pasta from dinner. It usually sits inside the fridge until it goes bad.
Now I place my leftovers in a muffin tin and place it in the freezer. Once frozen I take it out and place it on the counter for about 10+ minutes (just enough to thaw a little).
I turn it upside down and slap the bottom of the tin and TA DA!
Almost instant pasta for my little ones lunch!
REHEAT
THROW SAUCE ON IT
& SERVE!
This has actually inspired me to plan breakfast meals for each day of the month. So I'll only repeat those meals once every month (excluding weekends).
I came up with this idea as I saw one of my neighbors make a large batch of pancakes and freeze the remaining items for later!
Since I was fortunate to take these ideas home & better my meals I'll share the Monday-Friday breakfast meals that will be whipped up or reheated in our household! (subject to change as I find awesome breakfast additions)
** Note: only certain items will be frozen :)
Bon Apetit!

Super great idea!!! You really put me to shame here. Why can't cereal be enough?
ReplyDeleteNo, No, No, you crack me up! Give me a month or two and we'll see if I'm still as vigilant.
ReplyDeleteP.S. We have cereal every Saturday! :)
Ok, this is the best idea ever. Now...if only I can execute it...
