Make Your Food Last Longer

Cook Two Meals at Once

Cook once, then "bank" a meal. Making lasagna? Baked ziti? Both are super affordable and fun family favorites. When you take the time to create these fabulous dishes, double the recipe and make two complete meals. It takes little extra time, but the payoff is huge. Before baking, cover the extra meal with plastic wrap and foil and freeze for up to three months (be sure to label and date it). Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
