Here is a very easy way to start. Say you are going to make meatloaf for dinner. Just make triple the amount you usually do.
Have 1 for dinner
Bake the second one too and freeze, to take out later for sandwiches
Freeze the third one raw. The easiest way to do this is to put it in a ziplock bag and flatten it. When you are ready to use, it will thaw in no time. Just put in your pan when thawed and bake.
Having mashed potatoes with that meatloaf? Triple the amount again. If you use milk in your potatoes, cut back on it as it will make them runny when you thaw.
Put in ziplock bags in meal size portions, flatten and freeze. Now you have mashed potatoes to go with any meal.
OAMC is really cook once eat many times. If you do this for a week or two when making dinner, you will have some fantastic meals all ready to go right in your freezer. Cheaper and much healthier than eating out and if the item is pre-cooked even your kids can microwave them for a healthy meal.
