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!

And lastly, an intro.
Meet Oscar, my new “pet”.
Remember my recent bread baking addiction? Well… It’s still going strong. I’m determined to make a sourdough loaf, which requires a starter or pet. A starter is a batter of flour and water that requires daily feeding and over time becomes full of living yeast and bacteria. Sounds pretty gross, but that grossness is responsible for the delish sour taste in sourdough.
Here’s to hoping I keep Oscar alive and well!
