The soups turned out great! I ended up making beef barley, vegetable, chicken rice, and spaghetti soup. Spaghetti soup is really good, take leftover noodles and meat sauce, add water and tomato juice and a little stock, some veggies, and it is kind of like quick minestrone that uses leftovers! I had some borcht already packaged so that made 5 kinds of soup. I still have like three weeks worth of soup! It is nice to have the variety so I don't feel like I am eating the same lunch every day. The only problem is that it takes a lot of containers. So I froze it in baggies, and I have a bowl at work to use.

The salads worked out as well, and I am continuing that. The gladware is working the best at keeping the greens nice all week. Tupperware, rubbermaid, and "sucker ware" (you know, margarine tubs, no-name containers, etc.) failed miserably. Funny eh? The cut up veggies need work too, the quality after a couple of days was less than great. Some things dry out (carrots, celery) and other things get slimy (cucumber, green peppers). I'll figure it out eventually!

So, any great frozen or make ahead breakfast ideas LOL?

I also cut up vegetables for stir fries and salads and find that a damp paper towel placed in the plastic container helps to keep carrots and celery from drying out and I use a dry one for green and red peppers and lettuce so they don't get slimy.

Just went on another soup making binge, my father pilfered some of the frozen stuff so I was running low LOL. I made turkey soup (Canadian thanksgiving) and bean soup with a smoked turkey leg. Needs more veggies though. I'm going to make onion soup next (bring it to work with a baggie of shredded cheese and a slice of rye bread. Crumble bread into bowl, cover with cheese, heat soup and pour over. Tastes too good to be a brown bag lunch!).
