It’s harder to cook for three now than four since my son went of to college. Leftovers are not a big hit so I try to make sure I prepare only what will be eaten, however that changes daily…

I defrosted five chicken breasts last night so today I made chicken soup with two of them and baked the other three. Soup for tonight and the other three in the freezer for sometime next week.

Sometimes I’ll spend a weekend cooking and freeze it all. Chicken soup, meatballs and sauce with sausage, beef stew, lasagna, etc. Just need the energy to shop and then to cook it all. I have to work myself up into it.

Freelancing from home has been a help with cooking. Even though I still have to pick up my son I have all day to start meals if I feel like it. It’s cheaper than prepared food and better for all of us. Gives me more of a parental feeling too.

Oh well, time to take the soup off the stove.
