Cooking my Butt off
This is an excellent idea. I am going to do this after my surgery. When we cook, we cook for 4 adults, (including me). What ever is left over I am going to freeze instead of throwing it away. I love your mini-meatloafs. Thanks for sharing the pictures. I am so excited to try this. I haven't even had my surgery yet, but I can plan ahead of time!

I use to do the same thing when I worked even though that was before I had WLS or a wt issue. I also took one day a week to make casseroles for the month since they often used the same veggies. This way I used all the veggies up before they could go bad. It made it so much easier with 3 small children and a spouse that was often TDY. Friday night was family night so I'd either make pizza, chicken nuggets or take the kids out. When I wasn't working and cooking each night, I'd take all the leftover pasta, veggies, etc. and make a poor man stew once a wk. Mine are grown now and one asked for the recipe to that great stew we had once a wk. I need to do a better job nowadays for I throw out far to much spoiled veggies and fruit.
