Cook Food Once, Enjoy it Twice

Cooking a base dish that can be enjoyed today and used for a different meal tomorrow can save you valuable time and extend your grocery budget. Doing so also brings you comfort to know you’ve planned ahead and made a “double-up” meal.

For example, you can bake fish for tonight’s dinner, and eat fish tacos for tomorrow’s lunch. Or you can make a “blend” or base to create multiple meals. The mushroom-beef blend below makes your beef go further by using mushrooms’ ability to mimic the texture of meat. For additional blend recipes, visit mushroomcouncil.com.
