Menu 2014: June 30-August 3 (Freezer Week)

I am so behind on things lately. Sigh. But at least we're still on summer break so we don't have to do school. :) VBS is this month and I know that week will be really busy so I'm already planning on a freezer week (see details below). Here's what I've got in mind this month (printable menu here):

June 30-July 6 - We were on vacation most of the week but I did cook a couple of meals.

• chicken enchiladas with a creamy green chili sauce
• pesto chicken lasagna roll-ups with green beans and French bread
• leftovers (we had to clean the fridge out before leaving)

July 7-13

• chicken and black bean quesadillas and side salad
• bbq pork spareribs, loaded cauliflower, and pinto beans
• dahi chicken, dal, and brown rice
• grilled salmon, roasted root vegetables, and wild rice
• crockpot low country boil and brown rice

July 14-20

• taco pizza
• cobb salad
• "rotisserie" chicken, steamed California medley veggies, and slow cooker mashed potatoes
• grilled cheese and tomato soup
• crockpot carne asada, brown rice, and black beans

July 21-27 (Freezer Meal Week)

• chicken enchiladas with a creamy green chili sauce and side salad
• bacon cheeseburger, side salad, and fruit salad
• sausage ravioli with marinara sauce, steamed broccoli, and side salad
• meatball subs and side salads
• balsamic chicken with roasted vegetables over garlic herb fettuccine

July 28-August 3

• smoked paprika grilled chicken and Santa Fe rice salad
• bacon-wrapped meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans
• grilled chicken drumsticks, mac'n'cheese, and mixed veggies
• skirt steak, grilled veggies, and baked potatoes
• baked French toast and sausage links

Since I will be doing a week of freezer meals the week of VBS, I decided to challenge you all to attempt a freezer meal week as well. Here are your instructions:

1. Pick one week in July (preferably one that you know is going to be busier than usual).
2. Write up a menu for that week using only dishes that can be made up ahead of time, frozen, and then cooked later.
3. Actually follow through on it.

Your turn: What is your freezer-week menu?
