Over the years I have made large meals for a growing family. Often I would double up on meals and freeze them for use at a later time or to give to someone who might need an extra meal...
As my family began to grow out of the home I have had difficulty in making smaller meals out of habit with my recipes. I started to make mini meals for daughters living in apartments or for my mother-in-law to make sure she was eating well.
This is one of the mini chicken pot pies.
I am officially an "empty nester," oh I hate the thoughts!!!! My gourmet guy is gone a lot so I am often debating what to do for dinner. It just isn't as fun to cook for myself. However, part of my new years resolution was to do a better job eating nutritionally especially when I am alone. I planned out a menu and I checked in the freezer and found a freezer meal. I found myself enjoying the blessing of my own freezer meal. A bounty of blessings that includes one for myself.
One of the advantages of being charitable, is that most often the blessings spill over to us as well!
