Hey Sheri, Wanted to chime in here that, at least in CO, dried pasta like this will last a REALLY long time especially if sealed. Also, if you were concerned about bugs, etc., you woudn't be limited to freezing it. Refrigeration would probably be adequate for dried pasta. You can get those skinny tall cylinders from Rubbermaid and they fit nicely in the back of a fridge shelf. Just a thought... Peg

Yes, I do! It's in the Recipe folder. If you go in there and use the find feature to search on "chicken and orzo" you should be able to find it under my name.

Yea...freezer space IS a problem for me. Have a tiny freezer in my fridge and no space for a separate freezer. I think my best bet is to either find someone else who sells it by the container or to find some friends/coworkers to go in on an order with me. I do love my chicken and orzo, but I always feel a little guilty because it's "white pasta" and I rarely eat white food anymore.
You know, I was reading something somewhere recently, that was saying white pasta isn't as bad for you as many people had made it out to be. It is made from "duram wheat" a/k/a "semolina" flour, which is different than standard refined white flour. Dawn

Sheri, I think that freezer space might be a problem for you, but if it isn't, you can always buy the 4pack and then keep it in your freezer. I see LOTS of chicken and orzo in your future Our Albertson's and Vons grocery stores carry that particular brand of orzo and couscous (the one in the link), so I'm going to ask them if they can order the ww orzo for me.
Blessings,
Lori

Dawn, Sometimes our WF has ww cousous (plain) in the bulk bins. We don't eat much couscous- but buying and using ww couscous might make it more attractive. |

Being a live-alone single, that would take me ages to go through. But maybe I'll ask some friends and see if they want to go in on it with me.
