I DID IT! I am so excited, proud of myself, and EXHAUSTED! I have many friends that cook and freeze and have been a tad envious of the fruits of their labors. So since it is LABOR DAY, I decided to labor away the day...in the kitchen.
Many of you know I am now working full time outside of my home and also part-time in the evenings, so dinner prep must be SIMPLE. I took advantage of my wonderful day off, and got busy. I must brag just a tiny bit on all that I have accomplished.
2 dozen muffins made - 1 dozen eaten, 1 dozen frozen
Taco meat for 2 taco dinners
Meat for empanadas
Ground beef for spaghetti with marinara sauce
1 upside down pizza
Cubed chicken for Sundried Tomato Chicken Alfredo
Shredded chicken for Lisa's Rice and Chicken
Shredded beef for barbeque sandwiches
Chocolate Chip Cookies - I guarantee there will not be any left for freezing by the end of the evening!
Okay - now that I have it typed out it doesn't look like that much! But, I am still excited. It will be so nice to come home after a very tiring day and already have the main part of my meal done. I also have ALL ironing done for the next 5 days for 4 out of 5 family members. PRESSON PROGRESS! I am done bragging on myself. I did have a very handsome person who cleaned up after me in the kitchen. I love him! Hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day!
You are one brave mama. Woohoo. I know it has to be rewarding feeling to accomplish that.
ReplyDeleteI know you and your family will reap some yummy rewards for the fruit of your labor.
Thank you! It is something I am certainly going to try again in a few weeks! Right now, anything that saves time is worth trying!
ReplyDeleteGirl- you go with your bad self. What a great Mom you are. And you have every reason to brag. What a job. I was just proud of myself for making soup from scratch last night :) Can you send me your empanada recipe?
