Week 1 (July 4-10)
Being the hubby will be off of work for this week whether baby #4 has arrived or not, he will be cooking (or more likely grilling) dinner tonight. Also, if baby has arrived and I am home from the hospital we will probably end up with some family/friends over for dinner.- Ahi Tuna Wraps with mango salsa, roasted red potatoes, sauted veggies (zucchini, summer squash, onions, peppers, etc. all tossed in herbs and olive oil then sauted or even grilled) and frozen juice pops for dessert.
- Sub Sandwiches (grilled chicken breast), pasta salad, and grilled peaches ala mode. I will also have the hubby grill up some chicken breast for use later this week.
- Chicken enchiladas (I made a double batch a month ago and froze it for easy use now), and black beans and rice

I need to begin thinking about freezer meals in the next month or so! How do you find is the best way to freeze your meals?
ReplyDeleteFor enchiladas, lasagna, and other "pan style" dishes, I will make them up but not cook them in the oven. Then I wrap the pans in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing. I also let them cool in the refrigerator before wrapping. I freeze soups in tupperware containers and chimichangas individually. It depends on what the meal is.
