Sorry it’s been so long . . .

Last week, The Batman and I put up 25 meals in the deep freezer. We began with me putting together the Menu Plan using the database of really great recipes at https://myfreezeasy.com/. I absolutely love using Myfreezeasy! I am able to provide much more varied menus for my family, instead of doing the same old things week after week. So here is the Menu Plan:

We got two meals out of each recipe except for the Taquitos. I ended up buying burrito size tortillas, so we made burritos. We got four meals of those! We also ended up with enough extra boneless, skinless chicken breasts left to bag up in freezer bags for three more meals, so we ended up with a total of 25 meals in the freezer!

All of the meals that are in pans went into the deep freezer out in the garage, and all the meals in freezer bags thankfully went into the fridge freezer in the kitchen. Why thankfully you may ask? well, because something happened after we got to enjoy the following meals . . .

Our deep freezer died over night. I sent The Batman out to get something out of it, only to find everything thawed and warm It all had to be disposed of. I called our Pastor to see if we could bag it up and put it in our church’s dumpster, and of course he said yes. Our church ( https://www.mesabaptist.org/ ) is less than two minutes away. So, that’s what we did. I was so sad, after all that work we did, and the money for the meal ingredients. Fortunately as I said, even though all the pan meals ( and everything else in the deep freezer ) had to go, we had put the baged meals in the kitchen freezer, so we do have those. But still . . . Oh well, this too shall pass!

In the meanwhile, please do go to https://myfreezeasy.com/ where you will find tons of information on freezer meal planning and preparing, AND if you scroll down to the bottom of to page, youll find a free try it meal plan. This is honestly the best money I’ve ever spent! Try it, I don’t think you’ll regret it!

All Chiicken Freezer Meal Plan

As promised last time, because my grocery store had chicken on a B1G1 sale I’ve done an all chicken meal plan for our freezer. We now have 28 supper main dishes in the freezer! Here are the recipes we used, from My FreezEasy We made four main dishes frm each recipe.

Here, “The Artist’ and I are working away to put it all together . . .

And yes, I’m as tired as I look. I’ve been doing lots of stuff, practically nonstop lately.

Anyway, these two photos show the whole finish! We had to do two photos because there wasn’t enough room to keep prepping AND have all f the finished meals in one place.

We are really enjoying the fruits of this session, as we included both recipes that are new to us and recipes that are old favorites. Why don’t you try this as well, at my FreezEasy, where you’ll find a free trial menu for your freezer? I promise, you won’t regret it! Ths is absolutely not a paid review, I receive nothing for it. I’ve had a membership for several years, and it’s one of the best choices I ever made! We end up with a lot more variety in our meals, and I always have a meal in the freezer, both for us and for those times I need to take a meal to someone in need. Enjoy!

Putting Up Freezer Meals During Covid-19

Recently, “The Artist and I put up a bunch of new meals for the freezer. During Covid-19, it’s a little more difficult because stores are limiting how much of each kind of meat we can buy. So what I’ve been doing is creating a menu which doesn’t call for too much of one meat, but varying it up so as to be able to get what I need. Here’s the menu for this time around.

5.30.2020

We put up 2 of each of these meals, plus two extra Honey Dijon Chicken meals. The Salmon meal I just froze separately so that it could be made with fresh dill the day we decide to have it.

Here are the fruits of our labor!

5.0.2020 2

Here are some of the meals, ready to eat! Yummy!

Freezer Meal Prepping Our Way Through Covid 19

On April 11 2020 “The Artist and I put up 12 supper meals in the freezer!

IMG_20200411_150202

On that day we did recipes 1 – 6 in exactly 1 hour, 36 minutes and  3.29 seconds. Yes. I DID use the stopwatch function on my phone! Recipe #7 had to wait until after Easter Sunday dinner, because I needed the leftover ham for it. 

This is some of the prep work for some of the recipes:

And here’s one in the process, almost ready for the freezer:

IMG_20200411_142051

By the end of that 1 hour, 36 minutes and  3.29 seconds, we had THIS!

IMG_20200411_155729

On Sunday afternoon, my husband cut up 8 cups of ham, and “The Artist” cut up the onions, carrots and celery. With the 4 LBS of split peas I bought, we now have 2 packages in the freezer of the makings for Split Pea Soup, for a total of 14 meals ready to thaw and cook.Not reheat, cook from scratch.

Until next time . . .

Freezer Prepping Right Before Stay at Home Order

So you all know that about once a month we do a menu plan for the freezer to save money and make things easier, right? Well, we managed to get one in right befor our governor gave a stay at home order. I will say that it took several days to get the meat we needed, and then “The Batman” and I went to Smith’s for the “reserved for seniors and disabled” hour to attempt to get the other ingredients for the recipes. We waited in line outside of the store for 45 minutes. I ended up needing to substitue a lot of ingredients, but I did get 16 meals into the freezer. I hope the substitutions work!

IMG_20200320_134809

I finally thought of going to our local meat marked (duh!), and they were limiting to 5 pounds of each thing you wanted to buy. This is my purchase:

IMG_20200319_120359

I’ve never bought a bag of bacon before! Here are the meals, right before going into the fridge!

IMG_20200320_134109

So far, we’ve had one of the Sloppy Dog meals, one of the Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork, and one meal left over from a previous session, Ginger Peach Pork Chops! I do 8 servings, and almost always get two suppers out of them for my family.

I’m glad we were able to get this done before the stay at home order, and that we were able to find what we needed in the midst of all the panicked shoppers.
