This weekend I did one of those things I've always been meaning to get around to. I just knew that if I could follow this helpful tip I've read about in umpteen magazines and helpful blogs, my life would become so much more manageable. And I believe it has.
What the heck did I do that makes me feel THIS accomplished? I cooked a bunch of brown rice, wild rice, and barley and froze them in packets using my food sealer.
You expected something more monumental, right? Sorry. However, I am planning to go home tonight and make a healthy dinner of beans & rice (probably with an egg on it) and it will take mere minutes to put together. The fact that it takes upwards of 45 minutes to cook brown rice usually means that it rarely makes an appearance on our dinner table on a weeknight. Now, thanks to our handy-dandy food sealer I've got many little packs in there that I can boil in the bag or steam in the microwave. How awesome is that?
Pretty freaking awesome.
(P.S. Does anyone else even eat barley?)
