About a month ago I made Portobello Chili and ate it until I had chili seeping out of my eye holes. Not really, but I felt as though that was on the verge of happening. So I stuck a few chili filled mason jars in the freezer and called it a day.
Although I often wish I was a “freezer”, I’m not. But I can tell you a few reasons why today’s freezer story was a success.
– It was chili, and chili always tastes better the next day (or month)
– I froze individual portions which prevented me from having to heat up a huge amount of frozen food only to stick some back in the freezer
– I used mason jars to store the chili so it was easy to remove the lid and stick the frozen chili straight into the microwave (mason jars, btw, are a super cheap and all around better alternative to tupperware)
For reasons unknown, having a successful freezer story makes me feel accomplished and so I’ve made a mental note to freeze more often.
Oh! And keep an eye out for a protein pudding FoodFash Mash!
I like freezing stuff, especially chili! I never feel like having chilimor stews for more than two days in a row so I always freeze little individual portions also, it’s great for nights when I don’t feel like making anything! I never thought of using mason jars, that is a great idea!
The spicy kale and pressed tofu looks ammazzzzzinnnng!!!!!
Was the title of this post semi-inspired from our gchat? And I second Chrissie’s comment! Looks soooo good! Here’s hoping you get that tofu press!
maybe a little 🙂
