Recant

Well, last time I blogged about this I had prepared my first Supper Solutions meal and was very excited with the whole routine. The lasagna roll ups were good, but the portion was too small for the two of us. This, however, did not phase me because I knew that the fish and meat dishes to come would all have three breasts (or filets or whatever) and should be plenty filling. Well, day two was fish tacos and they weren't any good, but then again I don't really like fish. Day three and so on didn't get any better; to the point where the portion size no longer mattered because we usually didn't finish the meal anyway. I don't want it to sound repulsive, it just wasn't impressive. After my second SS session, I chose not to sign up for the following month, and Quin and I have decided that we're finished with that. However, I will miss the fact that I didn't have to clean up after myself when preparing all 12 meals. I will miss the one-hour, once a month prep time for all 12 meals. I will miss the shorter grocery lists and the already planned meals. And mainly, I will miss the short 20-30 minutes it took me to reheat each meal every night after work. For this reason, Quin and I have decided to do our own Supper Solutions at home. This, of course, will take much more planning and prep time (and clean up), but hopefully I'll be able to use one Saturday out of the month to prep and freeze meals. This way, we get to cook the recipes we like (and maybe it will be cost effective). I'll let you know how it goes. First, we have to get through the 12 meals in my freezer from last month :).

*Note: Don't be discouraged if you were looking into a meals-to-go type place near you. My girlfriend, Danica, and her husband have really enjoyed Supper Solutions (although they're not pleased that the SS prices just went up). I think the principle behind these meals-to-go joints are fabulous and am really glad that I did it because now I know the technique for my own pre-preps.
