Meal Planning Tip!

Think one
meal ahead.

If you cook for two, make enough for four. You pick up cost efficiencies in terms of materials used, prep time spent and energy consumed.

Whenever you can, commit to adding enough ingredients for another complete meal that can be labeled and stored in the freezer.

When you plan your leftovers today, you’re simply making the convenient, prepackaged meals of tomorrow.

Freshness Counts Labels are ideal for mothers who make their own baby food recipes, and also provide a great way to keep track of packaged and fresh spices, and even monitor the freshness of homemade, natural beauty products and health supplements. Perfect for those who do their own canning or put up jelly and fruit preserves. Don't rely on your memory when deciding what's fit for another meal, and don't take chances with the safety of
