I have a drawer full of 1 to 2 cup plastic containers that are freezer safe. I have two crockpots. I practice the "cook once, eat all week" philosophy. On Saturdays and Sundays I throw meat, vegetables, soup ingredients, stews, whatever I feel like - into the crockpot(s) and cook them slowly all day. Then I divide them up into the plastic containers and freeze them. At any given time I have 3 or 4 different choices in the freezer, and I just grab one each morning, and pop it in my bag with an apple or banana or other fruit, and maybe a little bag of pretzels or some leftover veggies or entree or side dish from the previous night's dinner. Everyone who sits there eating their cans of tuna and their take-out salads and their peanut butter sandwiches envies the good smells coming from my lunch :)
