This weekend Money Saving Mom and Life As Mom are hosting another freezer cooking day. I haven't participated the last few months because life has just been too crazy. I could easily have benefited from having the food in my freezer but there simply was not time to cook. This month I planned to participate and I had a list of items to fix ready to go but we received some news last night that have changed what I'm cooking this time. My husband found out last night that as soon as he graduates in two weeks he will be traveling for most of the next month and a half. When he is home, he will be working nights and weekends at his second job. We are extremely thankful for the income but wish we had a bit more time to recover from school before life happening.
In view of this news, I've changed up a bit what I am going to cook. You have heard me lament for years now how picky of an eater my husband is. I get discouraged trying new recipes because he rarely ever likes them, yet I would try a new recipe everyday if I could as I love to experiment in the kitchen. This month, I'm going to make some of the stuff I want to eat and freeze it in two person portions. This way I have quick meals for when I'm home alone with the kids and I get a new variety of food to try. Here is what I hope to make, spread out over the next few days:
French Toast Sticks - made using Cola Bread
Hashbrowns
Rice
Banana Bread
Quiche in a Bag - using leftover turkey and all the veggies I like (my husband isn't a veggie fan)
Quick Cheese Biscuits
Ground Beef and Chicken (cooked for quick and easy meals later)
1-2 casseroles to be determined
