It's a beautiful thing!!

You are probably wondering why I have a picture of what is in my freezer. Well, I am very proud of my hard work and yes, I am going to boast about it. Last Saturday I spent from 6am until about 2pm cooking and preparing about 20 different meals for my family. I am a part of a freezer meal group, but we only meet once a month and get 3-4 meals each time to put in our freezer. The Weber School District had a wellness seminar and had the lady who wrote the recipe book we use for our freezer group. She told us how we can make 30 meals in one day. I bought her book and computer software and went to work.

First, I decided what recipes to make, went grocery shopping, did some prep work-like chopping onions and cooking all the chicken I needed, and then cooked, cooked and cooked some more. Yes, it was a lot of work, but actually it was kind of fun. My plan is to do this every month and have meals in my freezer to use on the days I work, or just on the days I am not in the mood to cook.

I made lasagna, manicotti, chicken enchiladas, taco soup, beef stew, chicken and rice, meatballs, pork chops, and several others. I am very proud of my hard work, and my family enjoyed one of the freezer meals tonight. It's a beautiful thing!!
