Does anyone else do this? I've taken to making my own quick fix "meals" just by chopping things up and sticking them in freezer bags. It's actually working really well for me. Usually just 1/2 cup or so of veggies & I can just stick them in the oven or microwave whenever.
One of the things I like best about doing this is just that I don't feel obligated to eat anything because it'll go bad. So when I don't feel like eating but I also feel that I need to use up the stuff in the fridge so as not to waste it, I just make interesting combinations for later, when I don't feel like preparing food.
I do it with fruit, too, to use in smoothies. Chunks of apple or orange or kiwi or whatever.
Cheaper than buying pre-frozen produce, too.
