So I am restocking fridge after the fridge fail of last weeks. So it gave me a chance to think about how I am restocking. This we my husband and I are build freezer stock items. I am making bags of meal starters. I cook many times a week and start with Mirepoix (onions, carrots and celery) small batches to freeze and I always caramelize my onions so I will make small batches of them as well. So I am going to make my start mix in my freeze ready to use for the nights I need an easy meal. More to come next week.

Looks like a good plan! Mirepoix! So new to me. Need to have that prepared ahead of time. 🙂
Oh man… those all look amazing! I’ve never tried my own lettuce wraps… adding to my list this week!
Do you know what a mirepoix is? It’s a mixture of onions, carrots and celery. Which is handy to freeze in 2 cup portions to have on hand to make a batch of any kind of soup, any time!
Yes I use mirepoix before at least twice a week so I am familiar with what it is. I have never froze mirepoix before precooked, I am hoping it saves me time, thanks for the advice of 2 cups. I am making batches of caramelized onion separate from the mirepoix.. because I use caramelized onion them often for other things (would prefer not to have to wait 20-30 for onions) so I am going to try to freeze them as well.
I never thought of making cooked mixed veggies ahead of time. Great idea 🙂
I really need to start making meal plans! Everyone else who does them inspires me!
Those lettuce wraps look delish! I need to get me a Ninja Cooker! Love all those recipe ideas!
