So nesting has begun.....I've been planning and shopping and cooking like a fool since last Thursday. I've decided to embark on a Once a Month Cooking endeavor. So here's my list:
Breakfast foods
- Breakfast Burritos - 19 made (had to eat 1 for breakfast, they looked too good)
- Muffins - 12 Cinnamon & 12 Blueberry done
- Granola Bars - 2 pans cooling as I type
Dinner foods
- Spaghetti Sauce - 3 bags with 5 cups of sauce each
- Taco Soup - 2 bags done
- Chili - 2 bags done
- Red Beans & Rice - 2 bags done and had for dinner last night
- Mac-n-Cheese
- Lasagna - 2 pans done
- Chicken pot pie
- Salisbury Steak
- Meatloaf - 2 made and ready for the oven when we are
- Stuffed Peppers - 2 pans done
- Baked Ziti - 1 really large pan done, may use for a night when lots of family are over
- Southwestern Egg Rolls
- Chicken & Rice Casserole
- Beef & Black Bean Enchiladas - 1 pan done
- Taco Meat - 1 lb made and chillin'
So far that's about 18 meals + some quick breakfast options for us. I'm sure some of them will leave us with leftovers as well. I still want to pick up a roast and whole chicken to cook as well. Hope everything I've made turns out ok after it comes out of the freezer. I'll have to let you know. I guess it's back to the kitchen to finish up!! Except for having a bit of a head cold and getting exhausted easily, this is kind of fun!!
When the freezer is stocked, I'll share a picture. :)
