Now that the Christmas Season is upon us time is often short for everyone. In order to help keep the stress down in our house I spend a couple of afternoons making extra meals and freezing them. This way when I come home late and I don't have time to cook my family can enjoy a delicious homemade meal and I am not pulling out my hair! Another way to accomplish this is to double your favourite dinner recipe and freeze half of it for another time. Believe me you will be so relieved when you are able to just pull something healthy and delicious out of your freezer. Sorry I don't have a photo for this. My family ate it all up before I had a chance to get out the camera!
