I’ve been trying to come up with efficiencies for myself so that I have more free time on week nights. Plus, my goal is to not cook a meal from scratch every single night. As you know, that takes time.

This weekend I bought 1 acorn squash and 1 butternut squash and cooked them in the oven. After they cooked, I combined it all into one big bowl and mashed it all together.  I filled three quart-size zip lock bags and put them in the freezer. Done! I now have squash ready to be warmed up for three separate meals. One less thing that I’ll have to prepare from scratch when it comes to a week night dinner. It’s healthy too!
