Labeling Freezer Meals
Published Sep 15, 2002
I have my changed my system for labeling homemade freezer meals. I used to carefully note in large clear letters, "Meatloaf" or "Pot Roast" or "Steak and Vegetables or "Chicken and Dumplings" or "Beef Pot Pie".
However, I used to get frustrated when I asked my husband what he wanted for dinner because he never asked for any of those things. So, I decided to stock the freezer with what he really likes.
If you look in my freezer now you'll see a whole new set of labels. You'll find dinners with neat little tags that say: "Whatever", "Anything", "I Don't Know", "I Don't Care", "Something Good", or "Food".
My frustration is now reduced because no matter what my husband replies when I ask him what he wants for dinner, I know that it is there waiting.
