When It Goes On Sale…
This past weekend quite a few things were on sale: boneless skinless chicken breast, ground chicken and ground turkey. When that happens I buy. A lot! Our freezer was getting low on turkey chili and meatballs, so I cooked up a double batch of each. The chicken hasn’t been $2.99/lb since last November (at least not at Metro or Superstore) so I bought about 10 club packs. Every day barbecuing up two or three packs and slicing up and weighing out 4.0 to 4.5 oz portions and putting in freezer bags. Seems like a lot of work, but trust me, this saves time and makes eating healthy so much easier later. My maternity leave will be up soon and I don’t want to be tempted by the perogies in the cafeteria when I return to work.
