The freezer is stocked

In my quest not to spend money eating out at lunch I've stocked my freezer with 2 - 3 weeks worth of lunches when I return back to Toronto for the holidays.

Here's what I made:
1) Garden Vegetable Soup - http://www.dairygoodness.ca/recipes/garden-vegetable-soup

2) Zucchini Lasagna - http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/02/zucchini-lasagna.html

3) Cheesy Mushroom and Asparagus Bake - http://www.heartandstroke.com/site/c.ikIQLcMWJtE/b.3484595/k.E2D/Recipes__Cheesy_mushroom_and_asparagus_bake.htm

In the new year I am hoping that my making more of my meals at home that I can reduce my food budget each week.  It started the year at $100/week, but I found that I wasn't able to eat all of the produce, yogurt, milk, etc. that I bought before they expired.  Currently I budget $300 for the month which is perfect for my at homemade meals, but if I go out to lunch then I dip into another jar, which I'd like to avoid.
