Meals Made Ahead: Magic Meat Sauce

Magic Meat Sauce

This recipe is also from Freezer Chicks, one of our favorite sources for freezer recipes. This one is kind of neat because it's a basic sauce that can be used several different ways to make different meals throughout the month. And it makes a LOT so you can try all three recipes.

We tried this once with our freezer co-op, but accidentally used half of the diced tomatoes called for (the cans we bought were too small). It turned out fine and was still plenty tomato-y. However, not all our families enjoyed the recipe. Not sure if we'll ever repeat it.

But, I do like the concept of one basic recipe being used in different ways and I hope we'll be able to find some more recipes like that.

I happened to like this recipe a whole lot, especially for the winter months. This works out really well for the recipes provided, but also for a fast chili or Shepard's Pie filling!

On the other hand, Lisa and her family did not care for this one. So.... mixed reviews I guess.

About this blog:

We are a group of moms who get together about once a month or so to cook Meals Made Ahead.

Meals Made Ahead are great because it's nice to always have something in the freezer for those nights that are busy, those nights when you can't think of anything to make, those nights when you have nothing to cook with because you didn't feel like dragging two screaming kids through the grocery store, those nights when you just don't feel like cooking.

Sure, we could do this on our own. But it's much more fun to cook with friends (and share the clean up!)

The secret ingredient

"If a woman could see the sparks of light going forth from her fingertips when she is cooking, and the substance of light that goes into the food she handles, she would be amazed to see how much of herself she charges into the meals that she prepares for her family and friends. It is one of the most important and least understood activities of life, that the radiation and feeling that go into the preparation of food affect everyone who partakes of it. And this activity should be unhurried, peaceful, and happy because the substance of the lifestream performing the service flows into that food and is eaten, and actually becomes part of the energy of the receiver. It would be better that an individual did not eat at all than to eat food that has been prepared under a feeling of anger, apathy, resentment, depression, or any outward pressure."
