Our 2nd Freezer Cooking Day (or Weekend!)

So our (my sister & I) freezer cooking experience didn't go quite as smoothly as the last time...but we made it!! We survived two afternoons (last Friday & Sunday) of whining, crying and complaining from the 5 kiddos while preparing our meals! BUT it was all worth it because now we each have 21 meals that will make our lives MUCH easier over the next several weeks.

This is what we made this time:
Apple Dijon Pork Roast
Teriyaki Chicken (x 2)
Chicken Divan
Stromboli
Chicken Stuffed Shells (x 2)
Chicken Marsala (x 2)
Lemon Garlic Chicken (x2)
Lasagna
Taco Casserole (x2)
Chicken Macaroni Bake (x2)
Tacos in Pasta Shells
Sweet & Sour Meatballs
Sweet & Sour Meatballs w/ Veggies
Garlic Pork Chops
Marinated Pork Loin

I also have 2# of taco meat and cooked, cubed chicken and a bag of plain pork chops to do with as I wish.

And this is what my freezers looked like when we were done! YIKES! I had to leave out 3 meals because there is NO WAY that they would fit...it aided in the meal planning process for our crazy start to the week.




I had totally underestimated how much more I could fit in my freezers. I really did think I could shuffle stuff around enough to make it easily work. Let's just say there was a lot of cramming and shoving involved when I was putting away these meals!

I will try posting some of the recipes in the upcoming weeks. For several of them, check out my post from our last cooking day here.
