<p>It is just me and my husband and I am mostly vegetarian and He is a meat eater. Usually it is okay but I do end up with a lot of one thing, such as Lentil soup. I can freeze it but I try to make a lot less so I only have to eat it over a few days instead of a whole week. </p>

<p>I am just wondering what you all are cooking that you maybe freeze or have cut into a workable recipe so you aren't making so much of it and having to eat it all week? </p>

<p>Grilled Trout in a Balsamic Reduction</p>
<p>Ingredients<br/> 1 trout fillets <br/>
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar <br/>
3 tbsp white wine <br/>
1/2 tbsp honey <br/>
1 tsp canola oil <br/>
salt to taste <br/>
ground pepper to taste <br/>
Before you start<br/>
The trout can be cooked using either an outdoor grill or in a thick-bottom pan on the stovetop.</p>
<p>Keep the serving plates in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.<br/> Method</p>
<p>Pour the white wine, balsamic vinegar, and honey into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat about 20 min until the volume is reduced by half and it reaches a syrupy consistency. Set aside.<br/> Lightly oil the trout fillet(s) on both sides. Heat a grooved, thick-bottom frying pan or a nonstick pan. When hot, add the trout, skin side down, and cook about 4 min until the edges become opaque and lighter coloured. Turn and cook an additional 4 min. Peel off the skin and add salt and pepper. Check with a fork to see if it is cooked through. Depending on its thickness, the trout is cooked in 8-10 min total. Alternatively, cook the fillets on a hot grill.<br/>
Serve on the warmed plates. Drizzle with the balsamic syrup.</p>
<p>Remarks<br/> Any unused balsamic reduction can be stored a few months in the refrigerator for future use.</p>
