Time to fill the freezer again! I'm going to try to do a little bit extra this month since we'll be heading out to California at the end of June. Tom will be home a bit before the kids and I are, so I want to have a few things in the freezer to make it easier on him. I've also got a few more actual meals I want to try this time.
Here's the list of regulars:
- Beans (maybe pintos and kidney)
- Brown Rice (I really should do a little tutorial on this – brown rice in the freezer is one of my biggest time/meal savers)
- Breakfast Cake (double batch)
- Blueberry Muffins
- Banana Nut Muffins
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- Waffle Mix
- Teriyaki Chicken (I use an Iron Chef marinade we found at BJ's for this. It's not too high in sugar or fake ingredients, but once it's gone I'm going to try making my own)
- Fajita Steak
- Tuscan Lemon Chicken
- Tortillas (flour and corn)
- Chicken Stock (overnight in the crock pot – that worked great last month!)
- Sandwich Rolls
And my test recipes (which I will of course share if we like them):
- Pizza rolls (kind of like cinnamon rolls, but with marinara, mozzarella and a bit of chopped pepperoni – this is sort of a crazy idea I had the other day and I want to see how it works)
- Chicken Cacciatore Penne
- Chili Verde
- Tex Mex Lasagna
- Southwest Roll-Ups
- South Carolina BBQ Pulled Pork
- Giada's Marinara
I think it's definitely going to be a two day endeavor this month!
