Freezer Cooking Results...

I have completed a lot in the last two days. I didn't do everything that I had planned, but I added some things to make up for that.

This was a major challenge...But I really enjoyed it.

I didn't cook enough for the month. I only cooked about 2 weeks worth of food. I didn't take many pics, but this is some of it...














All together I cooked:
-hot wings
-chicken and broccoli casserole
-cheese muffins
-cheese and sausage muffins
-mini meatloaf
-barbecued pork chops
-waffles

My Stockpile

This is my new stockpile. I have been couponing since June of 2008. But I have since used or given away all of my previous stockpile so I felt it was time to start a new one. This is it.


What do you think?

I will be adding more in the future....







Freezer Cooking -update #1



This is my progress so far. It is 2:16pm and I started at 11:00am. It is taking a lot longer than I would like because I am constantly stopping to do something else and play with my new little man!!

I have given myself 2-3 days so I am not too bummed out.

So far I have my chicken and broccoli casserole, hot wings, and chicken nuggets done.

I will do more tonight or tomorrow...

Freezer Cooking Day 4/1




I am actually going to do a freezer cooking day today, unlike last time when it didn't quite happen.

I have already gone shopping this morning. I already had most of the ingredients that I needed. I only needed about 5 or so ingredients. This is a very exciting day for me. Just bear with me on getting everything posted.

My plan for the next 2-3 days is:

-Mini apple pies
-baked ziti
-waffles
-breakfast cookies
-chicken and broccoli casserole
-hot wings
-mini meatloaf
-taco meat
-banana crumb muffins

This list is going to take me a while because this is my first time actually completing this.

Wish me luck!!! LOL I will update as I go......

Week 1: Making a Meal Plan and sticking to it

Okay so this is going to be the official start to my meal planning. I have gone through my pantry and my freezer and planned meals around what we have already. This way I can stick to a budget in the beginning and not get overwhelmed about this whole thing. So here is my dinner plan for the week, we are just going to wing it for breakfast and lunch this week since we usually have waffles, pancakes or muffins for breakfast and leftovers for lunch.


Sunday: fried fish, macaroni and cheese, cabbage

Monday: hamburger with gravy, rice, corn on the cob

Tuesday: chicken, cheese and broccoli casserole

Wednesday: homemade pizza, chips

Thursday: baked ham, string beans, mashed potatoes

Friday: tacos with lettuce, tomato and cheese

Saturday: grilled chicken and hot dogs with potato salad and baked beans



Now....I just have to stick to this.

Wish me luck!!! I will update with pics BEFORE we eat :)
