Freezer Meals

So as I try to save money and eat better I have come across a lot of people talking about freezer cooking. I'm trying to figure out if this will work for me and my family. So this week I started trying out these meals. Ont the menu we have 

1. Honey Rosemary Chicken
2. Newlywed Beef Tips 
3. Steak Fajitas 
4. Southwest Chicken
5. Sausage and Peppers (Chicken Sausage)
6. Savory Chicken 
7. Santa Fe Chicken

I made these all in one day in about an hour and a half. My mom was here visiting and she also works so very much so this could also be a solution for her and my dad. I will have a big write up of the successful recipes and a list of how they are prepared this weekend.

So my take on the first 3....

My kids absolutely love the Honey Rosemary Chicken, BUT my husband did not like it very much. It will be on the menu again because as I stated before my kids are the pickiest eaters EVER!!! And if they like something we will be eating it again.

The second night we had Newlywed Beef Tips which was great I served it over rice. My kids do not eat beef so no reviews on if they liked it. My mom and husband really like it a lot.

Tonight we had Steak Fajitas....now fajitas are usually a pain chopping and cooking all the food separately but this was great. We really enjoyed it. Again no kiddie reviews because they do not eat beef.

I am excited in the way that this is going because school starts soon and I am a teacher so having there ready before school starts is going to be great. Right now I am trying to see which ones work best for my family, play with the cook times and then I can make double the recipe and put them in my inside or deep freezer. During volleyball season this will be key to eating a good dinner and not just grabbing something fast food (I am trying to stay away from it). 

I will also start making my salads in a jar and oatmeal to help start me back on the right track for the new school year. 

Until Next time....
