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.

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

Our Kitchen

My favorite room in the whole house!! We still need to put the cabinet pulls on the cabinets. I have them picked out, I think dad has ordered them. We also still have to trim out the appliance garage, microwave, and fridge. The trim pieces are in the garage. I absolutely love being able to cook while watching TV and the open space for entertaining.  There is so much storage! I can finally buy in bulk or buy two of something when it is on sale. I literally had one cabinet for food storage in the rent house. Everything was neatly crammed in there. Now I can actually get something without taking everything out.
