I learned 3 important things this month while doing my freezer shopping and cooking:
1) Always enlist the help of your husband, and give him the ‘easy’ recipes. He helped me with cooking; I helped him set up his blogging unit for his students today. Win-win!
2) Cooking goes much smoother, quicker, and is much less messy when completed when the kiddos are asleep!
3) The new Expedition can haul a massive amount of groceries.
That being said, here’s the lineup (with links) of what J and I completed in only 2.5 hours last night from 8-10:30pm. Wahoo!!
Baked Cheesy Spinach Tortellini (made 2)
Slow Cooker Sticky Chicken Drumsticks (made 2)
Crock Pot Orange Chicken (made 2)
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
Spaghetti bake (made 2 for a friend)
I have another 5 meals that I have everything for and am meaning to prepare and freeze, but our deep freeze is FULL. I have never had this happen, but we have a whole pig and 1/4 beef in there in addition to everything else. I’m hoping to make the rest of these in the next few weeks to stash them away as we make room.
Clean Eating Beef and Barley Soup
Hungry yet? 😉
We had one of our favorites for dinner tonight: Cranberry pineapple pork roast. The smell of it combined with my *first* loaf of homemade bread from my new breadmaker was divine!
Have a great week!

I’m drooling! What a good list of meals! And the husband helped! Double bonus.
