Freezer Meals

These are really good recipes, they are restaraunt style dinners. Last night I made Dijon Chicken Noodle Toss. The combination of ingredients isn't exactly what I would have made, but it tasted GREAT!! I started making it at 5:45, and was done by 6:05! How cool, 20 minutes! And my boys ate it without complaining! Jeff didn't complain, but he didn't eat much either. But... There's enough for leftovers another night! Even better. Two nights of dinner for only 20 minutes of work. My kind of cooking.



Tonight I am going to try Zesty Beef Tacos. I am sure they will be fast, easy, and yummy! And... Let's see the ingredients and cost:


Chicken: $2, Crm. Chkn. Soup: $0.94, Sour Cream: $0.66, Ham: $0.70, Rotini: $1.12, Total Cost: $5.42; Servings: 8 That's only $1.47 per serving! Add some fruit and a glass of milk and you have a complete meal! WOW!!! Okay, let's try the tacos now-

Ground Beef: $1.98, Salsa: $1.50, Tomato Paste: $0.53, Taco Seasoning: $0.42, Taco Shells: $1.90, Toppings-Cheese, Lettuce, tomatoes: $3; Total Cost: $9.33; Servings: 6; That's only $1.55 per serving. Add some orange wedges with a yogurt dressing and a glass of milk. You have a complete meal! WOW Again!!! I LOVE THIS!

I have been cooking A LOT

I just haven't bothered to write about it! I can't believe I have let myself get so busy! Between Pampered Chef and Thanksgiving and going into Christmas, I haven't been so good about blogging! So here's what I've done this past month:

I LOVE OAMC. I will have to do a whole month's worth of posts on this! I could probably start a whole blog for Freezer Meals! I KNOW they are good for the budget, make dinner easier, and yummy! So... Pampered Chef has "Power Cooking" which is prepared chicken or ground beef dinners for the freezer. I am really excited to do these for shows. They are around $2/ serving. I made Chicken Stir Fry, Chicken Tortilla Soup, Beef Chili, BBQ Beef Sloppy Joes. We LOVED them!

I also tried Taffy Apple Tartlets and Peppermint Fudge Cookie Sanwiches for Thanksgiving (my father-in-law did the pumpkin pie). They were YUMMY! I LOVE to try new recipes!

For Ashton's class party we made Turkey Cupcakes. I really enjoy the recipes from Family Fun!

We also made Mashed Potatoes and Jello Salad to take to Thanksgiving Dinner. And at home I made our family homemade rolls and roasted a Turkey. We LOVE Turkey leftovers! My sister-in-law and I like to use the Stoneware Muffin Pan for the rolls. They keep their shape, don't stick, and bake PERFECTLY!
