With school and fall sports starting up I have to rely on lots of casseroles and crock pot meals to get us through busy evenings. This past week I put together over 20 meals for the freezer so that should help with not going for the easy fix of picking up takeout, although I am ashamed to admit that we got pizza twice this week, lol.

Tonight - chicken and broccoli casserole
Sunday - sloppy joes, fries and corn on the cob
Monday - chicken fajitas, rice and beans
Tuesday - Philly cheesesteaks, pasta salad, fruit salad
Wednesday - chicken teriyaki casserole
Thursday - breakfast for dinner
Friday - BBQ pork chops, baked sweet potatoes, green beans
Saturday - lasagna, garlic bread, salad
Sunday - burgers and hot dogs, baked Mac and cheese

Dinners:

Really need to get on the freezer cooking bandwagon. Do you just make extra when cooking to freeze or do you do an all out freezer cooking day? Tips on where to start?

Certain foods I definately make extra portions and freeze them. Things like chili, lasagna and pulled pork or chicken are easy to make extra of. This past week I did 1 day of ground beef recipes and the next day was chicken. I had most of the ingredients in hand for everything, just needed the meat and a few other things from the store. I searched Pinterest for ideas for casseroles and slow cooker recipes. It only took a couple of hours to put together everything, I figured if I can do this once a month or so, it will help out with keeping on track on our busy nights

And already have had to make changes for the rest of this week and next week due to finances. I work multiple jobs so my paychecks are spread out. Well, this weekend is a small paycheck and I am BROKE. Like, literally I have $0 in the checking. The check will only be like $50 as well. So it's getting split between gas ($20) and food ($30). Not only will I HAVE to eat at home this week, but I HAVE to eat off of what I have! Luckily, on the 4th I will have my main monthly check, but also a few really nice other paycheck from last week and this week. Which is why I will be doing my big prep cooking next grocery day.

So my plan is this:
Tonight: Chicken tacos with beans and rice (will make some rice and black beans, mix them up, and season them with onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and cumin)
Tomorrow: Leftovers
Saturday: Leftovers
Sunday: Chicken and vegetable lo mein
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Steak, baked potato, green beans
Wednesday: Steak hash and eggs
Thursday: Shredded pork and peanut curry (this is an experiment lol)
Friday: Leftovers (hopefully lol)
Saturday: Pan fried tilapia, rice, broccoli

Things got so messed up this week it's not even funny. I threw out all of my plans and ate what I had on hand, which ended up working out well as I got quite a bit out of the freezer. Still though, I have eaten out a few times as well now that I got paid but I really need to stop doing that. So this week is a HUGE shopping trip and I'm prepping a lot of stuff that will be going in the freezer. Sure it will cost more up front, but I do think it will save me money in the long run. So here is my plan for the next week PLUS what I am making for the freezer!
Tomorrow: Going to my aunt and uncle's house for a family "snack" dinner
Monday: Spaghetti and meatballs with roasted red pepper sauce
Tuesday: Leftovers
Wednesday: Slow cooker beefy mac
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Leftovers

As for what I am making for the freezer:
Meatballs
Roasted red pepper sauce
Shredded chicken
Burritos (some with shredded chicken and some with shredded pork)
Twice baked potatoes (some with broccoli and cheese and some with bacon and cheese)
Bacon

Was also going to do cookie dough and pancakes, but those have been postponed so I don't feel overwhelmed by this project.
