I'm so glad another foodie is back!

I don't freeze ahead because I think of my meals on the spur of the moment. I shop and buy what looks good and fresh. Then, as I shop, I think of what to do with them. But some days I come home and crave something--so I might rework the planned use of the foods I bought. I follow my cravings because I believe they are controlled by nutritional needs. Sometimes they are controlled by using up the food needs. For example, I had some leftover roasted chicken. I had some grape tomatoes that were getting shrived. I made a grape tomato sauce, added fresh marjoram, oregano and basil. I added the chicken and served it over brown rice fusilli. It was delicious! I do have frozen things in my fridge to add to dishes--such as edame beans and the sort to add protein to a meal.
