Thanks! that looks great.

It is! But a word of warning - it SMELLS like burning vinegar for about an hour

I bought this book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0800733177/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 several months ago, and since I had to take a 5 day stretch off of work this week while my husband is at a conference, I decided to try cooking double of several recipes this morning to freeze.
-I made a teriyaki chicken and veggie stir-fry which is mostly cooked, would just need rice or stir-fry noodles and to be reheated in a wok or frying pan (3 meals)
-I prepared the meat for grilled maui chicken sandwiches, which is basically just the raw meat in a marinade, on the day we eat it, the chicken would get grilled and you would make a sandwich with the chicken, fresh pineapple, lettuce tomato and mayo (3 meals)
-I prepared the meat for grilled coconut lime chicken tenders, which is also a marinade for the chicken and then on the day you eat it you would grill the meat and serve it with a peanut sauce (3 meals)
-I made homemade meatballs and divided it up among 4 Ziploc bags (4 meals)
-I also made a batch of marinara sauce to go with 1 of the bags of meat balls, and a smaller bag of marinara to go with these eggplant rollatinis I bought from Market Day

Preparing these meals and clean up time all together was 5 1/2 hours.

I also already have a tray of lasagna I put into the freezer the last time I made lasagna.

Haha! Okay, if it smells like it's burning I'll know I am doing something right.

Starting to work on my June meal plan! Doing a month at a time can be a bit difficult, but I find it really helps with the budget and keeps me on track better overall.

The one thing I need to do better about, at least on a week to week basis, is planning my lunches. Not really a day by day sort of thing, but to make sure I have plenty of stuff on hand to make decent and healthy lunches.

So wish me luck! =)

Been a while since I've stopped by. We have been doing good about eating at home despite my insane work hours. We have only eaten out for dinner once in the past 10 days.

Last night we had a small get together and had steaks, twice baked potatoes, roasted Brussel sprouts, corn, garlic bread, watermelon, and ice cream sundaes.

Tonight will be bratwurst with German potato salad, leftover Brussel sprouts, and watermelon. Plus strawberry shortcakes for dessert.
