Lately I've been making double batches of soups and chili so that we can eat one batch and freeze the second batch.  I was getting tired of  having to go to the store to grab food to cook when we ran out each time.  This is going to be a life saver!  I already have three double servings of chicken tortilla soup and chili in the freezer so that we can just thaw and eat!  I just bought double of each recipe and cooked in two separate slow cookers.  Then I added both to a Tupperware to cool and put one in the fridge and the other in separate freezer bags.  We use the vacuum sealer bags and then I label what it is and the date it was made.  Perfect!  Now our freezer is beginning to get stocked!  Also, we have looked for deals on meat as well and a couple days ago at Kroger we found a good deal on Filet Minion so we cut it up into steaks and froze as well.  I recommend cooking double batches of your favorite recipes and doing the same.  Who wants to go to the store ever time your hungry... not me!  :)  I'll take some pictures of the freezer bags so you can see the portions I use later.
