> the most affordable delivered meal service I've seen

> I enjoyed meeting her, too, but the price is too steep for me

 

As soon as I say these next three words, I know some will stop reading right away ... but ..

 

Cooking at home is the best when it comes to

 

1) cheap

2) assuring quality ingredients

3) less resources overall to cook at home

 

AND, one trick that I've done for a long time is to make big batches of food so that I have extra to freeze and reheat later. This then becomes my 'affordable' frozen dinner or lunch that I'll reheat and eat. Brown rice is something I almost always have in the freezer. Right now, also have black bean chili and a macaroni and cheeze casserole.

Macaroni and Cheeze - This time we sprinkled bread crumbs (Edwards & Sons Organic Breadcrumbs Italian Seasoning) on it and it was extra yummy. It tastes best fresh, but it was still good reheated after being frozen. Also, I use only half the oil and it still has a rich taste.

Maybe we should introduce a new type of Vegan Food Party. Typically everyone brings Vegan Food to share and eat that day. In the new spin, everyone just arrives with their takehome containers and freeze it for a meal later. Actually, though, at some VFPs, people can be very generous at bringing food and usually there is some swapping at the end.

 

Cheers,

Tammy

"This is my protest against the conduct of the world. To be a vegetarian is to disagree--to disagree with the course of things today. Starvation, world hunger, cruelty, waste, wars--we must make a statement against these things. Vegetarianism is my statement and I think it's a strong one." -- Isaac Bashevis Singer
