Freezer Foods

I have been wanting to make a bunch of freezer meals for sometime, but just haven't made the time. But this week I finally did! I'm sure many of you great moms out there do this regularly, but this was my first time and I am super proud of what I accomplished!. It was an exhausting day, but I believe it will be so worth it and make for some less stressful days in the future. I actually think I would like to do this monthly, and I think it would be fun to invite a few other women. I think it would be easier/go faster that way, not to mention, you'd have someone to talk to. We'll see....

Anyway, here is what I accomplished:

4 pans lasagna
4 pan chicken enchiladas
4 batches Curry
4 batches Honey Lime Ckn (well, five actually b/c that is what we ate for dinner that night)
4 batches spaghetti sauce
2 batches enchilada sauce
4 frozen pizza crust dough balls
2 large loaves banana bread
16 small loaves banana bread (like for visiting teaching)
36 apple muffins
24 blueberry muffins
36 banana nut muffins
8 breakfast burritos
36 egg muffin sandwiches
18 bell peppers sliced and frozen
12 zucchini sliced and frozen
2 gallon sized bags of grapes washed and frozen

1 large loaves wheat bread (I hand ground my own wheat flour for the FIRST TIME EVER!)
4 small loaves wheat bread




























I wanted to make more bread, but didn't realize how long it takes to grind wheat! It took 25 min for just enough for two large loaves....so I guess I need an electric wheat grinder....ou$h!

And, yes, there are 12 frozen pizzas in our freezer. We don't eat them often, but they were on sale for $0.29 each so I got a few (you had to buy 12 for the rebate) figuring they too would make for a quick meal on a stressful day....
