Freezer Cooking Day

Ahhh, it's about that time. Time for another Freezer Cooking Day. Time to restock the freezer with more meals.

If you have never done a freezer cooking day before or haven't even heard of it. Your missing out on a lot of fun in the kitchen. That is, if you like having fun in the kitchen. Even if you don't like cooking, Freezer cooking days can save you a lot of time and money when it comes to planning meals.

First, pick out a few recipes that your family likes and that will freeze well. Make sure you have all of the ingredients needed. Sometimes I'll cook the meat the night before, just to get a jump start. Make sure you have enough containers to put your meals. If this is your first time, start small, you don't want to get over whelmed.

Here is a list of things I plan on making:

loaf of bread in bread machine
granola bars
pumpkin pie
lasagna
chicken and rice casserole
peanut butter cookies
pizza dough
banana muffins

Oh, I almost forgot, Monday is the big day. Come join me for some fun in the kitchen. What do you plan on making and freezing?

End Results of Freezer Cooking Day

Here are the end results of my freezer cooking day last week. It only took me 4 hours in the kitchen. That includes clean up and all, not bad huh?!?



This is an awesome recipe for Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls from MoneySavingMom. I gave a pan to my mom to take with her this weekend camping. Everyone loved it. Actually a lady she works with wants me to make her some. Delicious and easy.

Banana bread muffins. Great for freezing. Just wrap individually in saran wrap and place in freezer bag. They thaw out quickly.


Stuffed Shells for seven dinners, remember it's just my daughter and I.




Fifteen Fajitas and three stuffed peppers. Fifteen homemade tortillas. Yummy!!

Also not pictured is five taco burritos, one coconut rosemary meatloaf, and french toast sticks. This should last us at least a month. All we have to do is add some side dishes(applesauce) and dinner is done.
