I have been very much into Freezer Cooking lately! It is so nice and has saved us a lot of money and me a lot of time. Not to mention it is just so much fun to see how creative I can be :) Here is something that I discovered a little while ago and thought I would share it...Huge time saver! FREEZE RICE! Yep you heard me right ( or read me right I guess in this case) You can make your own steamer bags of rice! I like to make a crock pot meals on Sunday or Wednesday mainly and a few top rice.. Like my Chicken Adobo, so good, but don't want to wait for my rice to cook 20-25 min when we get home from church . I mean come on the rest of my dinner is prepared, so why wait :) Here is what I do...
On a day with spare time pull out your rice maker, or whatever you use to make rice, and make a batch of rice. I like to do a large batch, 6 cup water 3 cup rice. Once it is done cooking I fluff it up, and fill up a Qt size freezer bag and seal it removing all the air. Be sure to label it "Rice Heat 4-5 min, High" then when you are ready to use it. just pull it out and plop it right into the microwave frozen and sealed.. the ice crystals will help it steam right up just like the store bought ones, When it is done place in a bowl and fluff it with a fork and there you go 5 min rice ! I hope you find it as useful as I do!
