Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 During my 1st year post-op, I used to make alot of stews in the crockpot and then freeze individual servings (carefully measured out in 3/4 cup portions)in ziploc freezer bags. I made alot of chili, beef stew and split pea soups. I always had several on hand, and it made packing a sensible lunch very easy. I must admit that as my pouch capacity increased, and my " discipline " decreased, I have not followed this practice as much, but as the colder weather is here, I might just go back to this. It was a money and a time saver, and it kept me on track. Good luck!! Deanna > In a continuing effort to maximize good eating and saving time, I bought > myself a Foodsaver from Costco.
