2. I've boiled and oiled another pound of pasta (Farfalle - bow ties) and put that into individual portion bags for the fridge. There are at least 10 snack-size zip bags, containing a cup of cooked and spiced pasta each.
3. Tonight I cooked and cut up about a pound or so of chicken (two boneless breast pieces) with cumin and garlic, and have put five portions in the freezer. About 1/2 cup per snack-size zip bag. Next time I'm doing the shopping, so I can get about three pounds and have the butcher cut them up as for fajitas, to make my end of the process more efficient.
The idea is that you can pull out a bag of pasta, a bag of bits of cooked chicken, and a bag of sauce and microwave all of the parts to have yourself a home-cooked meal.
