[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 692120, member: 44622"] Stir fry meals need only have the amount of meat in them that you can afford. Although they really need a sauce I find that you don't have to use the whole sachet (since that is what I buy). I put the rest of the sachet in the freezer. I do not freeze whole meals. I freeze the components of meals when I batch cook. Half a dozen omelettes separately placed into freezer bags. Eggs are not too dear. High quality sausages cooked and frozen and microwaved when needed. Saves on time cooking them all at once. If you can find a strain of potato that does not spike you then mash with butter in to cut the GI further in cheap plastic pots and frozen. I admit I even do a couple of trays of roast potatoes, bag them up and freeze them. Buying meat in those plastic trays can be dear. I feel as though I pay the shop to slice them up for me. I look for the offers of pork or beef joints and slice them into steaks myself. Amazing how many meals you can get out of it. This does not qualify under the economy of scale rule when you first buy it but it gives great pleasure to go the freezer for free for the next 6-12 meals. Anyway my point is - freeze meal components and choose which ones you will have when you prepare lunch or whatever, or maybe just snack. [/QUOTE]
