I have some cooking questions, so I'm posting them all here at once. When you reply, feel free to reference which part you were referring to. Thanks so much! (I promise you I did NOT intend for this post to be this long when I started!

)
Part 1: Meal Prepping and Freezer Cooking
So I've really been focused on cooking from home and not eating out this year. I like cooking anyways, so it's been really fun. But school is getting more demanding and I know I won't have as much time as I normally do when I start working full-time. (And my social life is growing.) For once cooking is starting to be a bit more of a hassel than I would like.
I've always been interested in meal prepping and freezer cooking. I know typically meal prepping is for singles looking to lose weight or body build and freezer cooking is usually used by Wives and Mothers with large families, but there's got to be a way that my family-of-two household could utilize both of these methods. I'm going to start looking into it myself and, with any good research, it's nice to get some direct advice from those who have more experience with your topic.
On that note, what is your experience with meal prepping and/or freezer cooking? Any other methods that are pretty cool that I might want to try? Do you really dislike one or both of these methods? If so, why?
Part 2: Seasoning and Beans
One of my long-term nutricianal goals is to cut down on salt content, and I know a big part of that is seasoning the food well with everything BUT salt. What are some good seasoning combinations for different foods- especially meats?
Also I am a meat lover, but I'm really starting to appreciate my garbanzo beans. Right now I only eat them as a morning mash but they're really filling, don't upset my stomach, and I can count them as either protein or veggies! So I would like to incorporate more beans into my cooking, but there's one problem: I don't like beans. When I was younger I didn't care for beans at all, but that was mainly because of the "try it, you may like it this year!" ridiculousness that my parents always forced us kids through during holidays until I was about 10.
Now a days I'm willing to try some things again, and see if it was just the way that they had been cooked when I was younger that I did not like. So garbanzo beans pan-fried with tomatoes, olive oil, and garlic is marvelous! It gets rid of thier "beany" flavor that I did notice when I tried to boil them one time. Bleh! Do you know any good recipes for beans where they lose most of thier "beany" flavor?
If you've gotten through all that and are still with me, fantastic! All your comments are appreciated, thank you so much for taking the time to look at my ponderings!
