Menu Plan Monday/Freezer Cooking


I've finally decided to get on board with "Menu Plan Monday" over at orgjunkie.com, as well as Freezer Cooking. It's taken me a long time to learn how to cook, but I'm finally doing a lot better now than I was a year ago.


Today, I made a ton of mini pancakes and waffles for the kids. I froze them to make it easier for when school starts in a few weeks. I also made some meatballs for spaghetti nights. And, as you can see, my freezer is full with chicken breasts on the left side. I bought a 40 lb. box from my MIL's store at $1.69/lb. (cheapest I can find), trimmed and put them 4 to a bag, as well as marinated most of them. I made sure to put what I marinated it with and today's date on them (I read it somewhere, definitely a good idea!)

Since this is my first MPM, I'm not sure I'll follow this to the "T," but I will try to follow as much as possible.

Monday - Take-out (I was too tired after trimming, packaging and marinating 100 chicken breasts)

Tuesday - Teriyaki Chicken and Rice

Wednesday - Going to MIL's for dinner

Thursday - Taco Hamburger Noodles (it's similar to Hamburger Helper, just home-made)

Friday - Spaghetti and Meatballs

Saturday - Italian Chicken with noodles

Sunday - Tacos

I'm linking this post up at Menu Plan Monday over at orgjunkie.com. And I'll eventually get around to posting recipes for these and linking back :)
