3 It s Week 15! If you are like me then some of these weeks you have made extra or ended up with leftovers that went back into the freezer. Always make sure if you refreeze leftovers you use them within a few weeks. The food will break down much quicker since it s been frozen before. When I refreeze leftovers I always make sure it is in single portions. That way someone can take it to work or just pull it out of the freezer quickly on days they don t care for what is being served for dinner. At the time of writing this I have 3 single servings of lasagna in my freezer so that hubby can take them to work on days we don t plan ahead for his meals at the station. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me any time at menus@onceaweekcooking.com. Get out of the kitchen and have some fun! Elisa Prout 2015 Elisa Prout - All Rights Reserved 3

8 Getting Started In order to make your once a week cooking routine the most effective, start by making sure you have all the ingredients available and that your kitchen and kitchen tools are clean and accessible. The more counter space you have available, the faster this process will go. As always, I keep a sink full of hot soapy water for quick clean ups between meal prep.
