Freezer Cooking for my 82 yr old Dad – Part 4

Hello All, I was exhausted after supper and didn't get around to packaging and posting about yesterday's exciting freezer cooking adventure. So, Picture 1 is the leftovers from a double recipe of Lasagna Roll-Ups by Natasha at

https://natashaskitchen.com/lasagna-roll-ups/

They take a bit more time, and are a bit messier, but the flavour is fantastic. But what I truly love ❤️ about this recipe is that the portion sizes are controlled. Further, I can package 2 lasagna portions (Picture 2) in each freezer container.

That being said, I went to a "new" dollar store on Cambridge, ON that Dad reccomended. So instead of the regular containers (Picture 3) I bought new containers (Picture 4). The new containers will take a bit of getting used to, but getting 6 for $2 is way better than getting 3 for $1.50 … or at least that was the price at Christmas!

Today is Roast Beef with roasted potatoes and onions. Plus, we found a "mobile" vegetable stand. It was amazing. It is a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) without the need for a subscription! AND, it was a "pay what you can" model to help the local food bank. Talk about wins all-around! So, I have 6 fresh corn-on-the-cob, 2 huge green peppers, green onions, a huge head of leaf lettuce, we skipped the carrots (pick 5), celery (1), and the Niagara peaches (pick 4). Why the skip? Because we already have those items in abundance. However, I am looking forward to tonight's salad.

Plans for the upcoming days; tomorrow is Beef Stroganoff Casserole (I'll include the recipe), prepping/baking 8-10 chicken breasts (whole and sliced for stir fry), followed by Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya, and then finally Sausage, Bean, and Rice Casserole. By that time the freezer should be fully enough to last to January.

Hope you have a great day!
