Freezer Meals


I just spent two days preparing over 30 meals. With school about to start and going to Jazzercise after work everyday, I wanted some easy dinners. The freezer meat stock was getting low, so I needed to stock up anyways. I bought most of my veggies and meat from Sam's. I did hit Kroger up for a few meats they had on sale this week. Here is a list of meals I made. I figured if I documented them hear they would be easier to find in the future. Some were recipes I had already and the others I linked. 


3- Chicken Spaghettis

2- Italian Sausage Lasagnas
2- Meatloaves
1- Chicken Pot Pies
2- Chicken Enchiladas
1- Cranberry Pork with Green Beans
1- Cranberry Chicken with Green Beans
1- BBQ Country Pork Ribs
1- Cranberry Apple Pork Loin with Carrots
1- Sweet and Sour Curried Pork Loin
1- Honey Garlic Chicken with Green Beans
1- Chicken with Spinach and Mushrooms
1- Chicken, Broccoli and Rice Casserole
3- Bags of Chili
8- Chicken, Black Bean, Spinach, and Rice Burritos
6- Hamburger Patties
5- Grilled Chicken Breasts
       * Slice them and put them on top of a salad
       * Chop them, quickly saute in a little oil and put inside quesadillas.
       * Leave them whole and put them inside panini.
1- Italian Sausage Pasta Sauce
2- Ground Beef Starters (I can use these for tacos, stroganoff, sloppy joes, or Mexican cornbread)
1- Dozen Banana Nut Muffins

Total of 26 meals along with chicken for quick meals and burritos for lunch. 

I used this Cream of Mushroom recipe for any dish that called for it. I'm really trying to eliminate processed foods.

Tips and Recipes from the Pioneer Woman

Will we eat these every night? Probably not. These meals will probably last us two months total, if you take out a couple of nights a month to eat out, making fresh meals in between, and cooking fish. But it gives me an easy meal every other night for about two months. Totally worth it to me! I also found it to be cheaper. I bought carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, tomato sauce, canned organic tomatoes, and onion in bulk. I used about half of everything. Some I will roast or sauté for sides this week. If there's a lot left and I need to use them, I will freeze the rest. 
I will definitely be doing this again.

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

Can't Wait to Finally Have a Garage!

This morning it was 28 degrees outside! I warmed my car up for 20 minutes and all the frost still wasn't off the windows. I can't wait til next winter when I will have a garage to park in. Not only for winter months but all months truly. In the fall I always get acorns and leaves stuck in my window. In the summer my car is always covered in bird poop and hot and in spring it's covered in pollen. Just one of the reasons I'm so excited about building a house. Having garage to park in!

A Sunday Swim

Sunday afternoon we decided to take a drive. When it was time for the dogs to get in their pen, Hatfield refused. He just stood at the car door. He wanted to go to. So we loaded them up and headed out. Our drive took us to a small lake about 20 minutes always. I didn't even know it existed. Anyways, we let the dogs swim. They loved it! Watch Lilly leap like a dolphin. Hilarious! Or at least it is to us.
