Full Freezer.

We were inspired by my parents, who had a freezer full of chili, spaghetti sauce, and soup when we visited back in December.  We spent last weekend cooking:

Onions, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, peppercorns, water, and tomato paste yielded 56 ounces of vegetable stock.  Rachel’s stock will be used for flavoring couscous and lentils.

Three portions of Rachel’s simple tomato-based sauce will be used for a mostaccioli bake, spaghetti & meatballs, and finally lasagna sometime soon.

Greg’s three-alarm chili (above) in process (before beans were added) and the finished product (below).  This is a perfect amount of spicy heat for Rachel and will provide three meals in the near future.
