I’m so excited to be here with you today. My name is Cassy Joy Garcia. I am the owner, founder, author, nutrition consultant, blog writer behind the brand Fed and Fit. If you're new here, I’m so happy to have you here. Normally; well, not normally. I do a lot of interviews on this podcast, and I also like to sometimes tuck away a little quality time between just you and me. And that’s what you’ve got today. On these shows, I like to either jump into a mindset topic, sometimes a really fun food science topic, and today we’re going to zero in on a healthy lifestyle trick that can really go a long way in helping to make you feel like you're really on top of your game. <br> <br> So we’re going to talk about freezing foods. We’ve got a little mini course called freezing foods 101. It is a question I get all the time, and I’m excited to finally give you a concise single resource to reference. I’m going to talk about a bunch of stuff, and of course as always I will provide links to everything that I talk about so you guys can have a quick reference. And hopefully this will be really helpful for everybody.<br> <br> Ok, so let’s start off with a little background information. Why is freezing foods such an important topic? And why am I giving it its own dedicated podcast episode? It seems a little bananas. So let’s jump into it. <br> <br> When it comes to starting a healthy lifestyle, whether you're just kicking it off or whether you have been at this for a very long time and you're trying to find a way to make life a little bit easier for yourself. There is something we can do. I like to call it knitting ourselves some safety nets; some fallback nets.
