I married a meat and potatoes type of man. One thing that helps me with dinners, is after a “big shopping” of buying meats, I come home and make up my favorite marinade (I have about three that I use for chicken, steak, and pork chops). Before I throw the meats into the freezer, I divide the meats into dinner portions into a large freezer Ziploc bags, and then pour the marinade in each bag. Toss in the freezer. They stack up nicely. In the morning I take one of the the ziploc bag of meat out to thaw and by dinner it is ready to grill (George Forman is my buddy =)). Head over here for more useful tips.

That is a good idea and saves time!
I gotta silly question… I am a HORRIBLE meat buyer! My hubs says I am attracted to crumby meat.. any advice on how to find GREAT meat to buy!?!
Yay! I love this. We get an assembly line going at our house. I cut up chicken breasts into portions and J divvies up marinades. Since it’s just the two of us, we do four portions per bag (diner and leftovers for lunch).
Good idea! I am going to try it!!!
Neat idea!
That’s smart! We’re not big meat eaters, but when we do, we love to grill it - I love the idea of freezing the meat in the marinade!
I really like that idea. It will save time and energy in the long run too, which as a working mom, I could really use.
the “I love food” picture cracked me up.
This is a GREAT tip, thanks! =)

Great tip! I’m going to do that.
