Meal Plan Monday

April 17, 2011

Only two grocery trips this week- I feel like I’m letting you guys down, lol. Now that DH is working so much I have less time (and pressure!) to coupon so much. Plus with The Boy being so difficult in the stores these days I haven’t been nearly as efficient. Instead I am trying to focus my [...]

Meal Plan Monday

April 11, 2011

Easy week around here thanks to freezer cooking last week. What a great treat to have dinner out of the way for half the month.  I used family packs of chicken breasts, ground turkey and ground beef, approx. $30.  Most of the rest came from what we already had here and another $30 at Sprouts for [...]

My kids were so excited about this dinner.  I sliced the hot dogs down the middle and added half a slice of cheese to each, then wrapped with Pillsbury Crescent Rolls.  Bake according to the directions on the rolls while you cook your tator tots or fries or both like we did. These are good with bacon wrapped [...]

February 6, 2011

Freezer Cooking- Chicken

February 5, 2011

Wondering what to do with that 20 lbs of chicken you just got such a great deal on?  If you are anything like me, you would just leave it in the fridge until it really starts to stink and then throw it out!  Above is my “Italian Chicken”.  I put the chicken breasts in the [...]

Freezer Cooking Success!

January 25, 2011

It truly dumbfounds me to think that we used to eat dinner out 3 or 4 times a week, and did take out or drive through food for the other 17 meals.  On the rare occasion I “cooked” it was likely a heat up meat product, instant mashed potatoes and Green Giant Steamers, all courtesy of my [...]

Baked Ziti from Meal Plan Monday

September 8, 2010

I had a request for the Baked Ziti recipe from Meal Plan Monday.   I was first inspired to try frezzer cooking by this site onceamonthmom.com.  I found the Baked Ziti recipe under the September 2009 menu.  I vary quite a bit from particular recipe as I don’t like cloves and don’t always have fresh basil on hand.  Basically, [...]
