As a baon-prepping mama, one of the things I often think about is what food to prepare for my kids' lunch baon. I want them to look forward to eating lunch, and not complain that they are eating the same ulam all the time. When my friends and I get-together, we sometimes compare what we serve our kids. You know, to get new ideas from each other.
One of the things that make my life easier as a baon-making mama is to have a ready supply of lean ground beef in my freezer. I buy about 2 kilos each time, and season them before I pack them in my Ready-Wrap Freezer-Ready containers. I use meatballs as a base for a whole lot of dishes.
One of the things I often do with meatballs is to make meatballs with mushroom gravy. My kids jsut love it that they don't complain even if I serve this every week. There are times when I make the mushroom gravy from scratch, but sometimes I also just use canned cream of mushrooms. There are days when we all feel that there's simply not enough time, but we know we want to prepare a home-cooked meal and not spend so much time slaving in the kitchen, di ba? Days like that, I know I want to cut myself some slack and I reach into my pantry for a can of Jolly cream of mushroom.
Fly Ace Corp recently sent over a basket of their items. A lot of their items are my pantry staples already, so the replenishment is most welcome.
