How many times have you gone out to dinner and bought home leftovers only to throw them out a week later because they spoiled in the refrigerator? You're not alone! But podding is an excellent solution. Next time you go out to dinner and bring home a to go container consider podding and freezing the food, especially if it is something you really enjoyed.
This is Shrimp Al Fredo and it podded into three containers. I have some great ideas for them as another meal paired with different vegetables or a nice fresh tossed salad.
If I am really lazy one day I can just take out all the pods and have dinner. However, podding is also great for portion control. Imagine, I left the restaurant full. I bought home leftovers which filled three 4oz. pods. My plan, I will take out one pod and add some bigger shrimp and a bit of rue to moisten. This will be plenty of food for a meal with fewer calories than the original entree.
One of the things my children mentioned with all my podding of food is the environmental impact of all those pods.
Not to worry. I do not recycle I reuse. Sure I could just throw the plastic in my recycling bin and forget about them.
But I can't even throw away the to go containers in which my leftovers came home. All my pods and lids, that I did not have to label for recognition, are thrown into a plastic wash tub and washed for reuse when it gets full.
I know podding is not for everyone. I too am just learning all the benefits. I am sharing my journey in podding in the company of food as I tweak and experiment.
