Time Poor? Cook Once, Enjoy It Again
When I am time poor and faced with that familiar question, “What’s for dinner?”, I consider my options: takeaway, something quick like a shake-and-pan-fried fish fillet, or a meal I prepared earlier and froze.
On Wednesday, I decided it was time to replenish my freezer with a big pot of soup.
Out came my largest pot! I browned some chicken wing tips, then added a generous selection of vegetables: pumpkin, sweet potato, potato, bok choy, okra, eggplant, cabbage, broccoli and zucchini.
Then came the Jamaican touch: three packets of C**k Soup Mix, along with cornmeal dumplings.
The result? Three servings to enjoy straight away and four double-zipper bags of soup for the freezer.
Now, when the question “What’s for dinner?” comes up on a busy day, I already have an answer.
Sometimes, a little cooking ahead makes life that much easier. 🇯🇲🍲
