P.I.S.S.?

My problem is that I'm not much of a meat eater historically and I STILL struggle with eating reheated meat.... so dinner one night and reheated for lunch the next day is about as far from fresh as I prefer to get. I LOVE taco meat--a taco salad for lunch feels so indulgent to me! And yes, I do use the crockpot, but beyond the first maybe second day it just sits in the fridge. I know it's wasteful, so I try not to cook too much ahead. And with the three little terrors (just kidding, they're angels!) demanding my attention from the time I get home until the time they go to bed, I often don't get to cook a real meal until after 8pm. Excuses, excuses.
I just need to rework some things to figure out how to do this right again. (It will also help if the baby quits his middle-of-the-night feedings and the 3-year-old quits her bedtime stalling.) 0 -

What about cooking then immediately freezing? Then take out portions and heat what you need? Still most of the prep stuff done.... Just a thought. I understand the fresh factor, but my fiance is bad - as long as it isn't a science experiment or stinky, he'll insist on trying to eat it. BLECH
But I find that taco meat tastes better with each hour the sauces blend. LOL But I honestly only portion out what we need each meal - so each set of meat is only cooked once and reheated once if I can help it!0 -
Yes, I'm big on not reheating something if it won't be eaten right then. My husband, not so much. I hadn't considered freezing, as our freezer is usually full. But I will try to pick up some freezer bags and such on my next shopping trip so I can give that a try.
