#Freezer Cooking

Herbed Tomato Sauce

It took a year and a half of dating and one massive fight before Daniel admitted he could cook anything other than ramen and Kraft macaroni and cheese. Though his stir fry totally ended up being worth forgiving him for, his kitchen repertoire pretty much stops there. This is a man who had to ask me how to cook the pre-made turkey burger patty from the freezer (hint: take the waxed paper off of it FIRST).

There are certain basic foods that I keep in my freezer at all times to build quicker (but still homemade) meals with. I always have a few jars of homemade stock. I always have a basic herby tomato sauce. I always have cookie dough balls that can be baked off 3 or 4 at a time. Once a month or so (whenever I have time) I set aside one weekend day to cook all these things up. I’m always grateful later!
