I do NOT like thinking up meals and then cooking them when I am tired....And I do Not like constantly eating chicken fingers and fries for dinner! Therefore I spent lots of time searching website after website for the best tips, advice, and recipes for freezer meals and then I spent ALOT of time planning out the shopping list, the slicing and dicing, and the instruction lists! (Not like I don't have the time to do this!)
I managed to come up with 28 freezer meals--2 of which my mother in law is so kind to make for me (her specialties of course...Enchiladas and my favorite mexican beef stew of some sort)--On Sunday Ike and I managed to pump out 21 of the 28 planned freezer meals! I feel so much better knowing that we will have great and easy meals to eat after the babe is born!
Of course the first thing we decided to attack were the onions...Ike and I chopped and cried over probably about 8lbs of onions for various meals! As you can see, giant freezer ziploc bags are my new best friend! Each bag is a meal destined for the slowcooker!
Must have chicken!
And hamburger for Shepherd's Pie and Chili and Soup...oh and there was also more raw hamburger for meatballs. Can't forget about the potatoes which were mashed up for the Shepherd's Pie. Oh man I'm getting hungry just thinking about all this goodness in my freezer!
Shepherd's Pie, Scalloped Potatoes, Chili, Chicken Pot Pie, Greek Chicken & Potatoes, Pulled Pork, various Soups, and the list goes on!
I can't believe we actually managed this...if this works out as well as I hope it may become a regular thing around here!
I should also mention that on saturday night our hot water tank experienced a break down and we didn't get it fixed until sunday evening....We boiled water in our kettle numerous times just so we could wash our hands and some dishes during our meal making marathon! Oy, talk about a disaster zone!
