In
February I cleared out the stash of freezer meals I had in there so I was in
need of a good meal prep session to get some more meals made up and tucked back
in the freezer. I have been super busy
the last two months and having something made up and ready to pop into the
microwave when I get home is super handy.
Now that I am riding the bus to and from work again it is a lifesaver
having those meals ready for me when I get home hungry and tired.

I
pulled out some meat and vegetables from the deep freezer, as well as some canned
goods form the pantry, and was able to make up a lot of create some delicious components
for making meals. Taco meat to make
tacos or taco salad with, a small batch of spaghetti and a really good teriyaki
chicken stir fry with jasmine rice was first up.

| Home canned chili (I added a sliced hotdog) 😋 |
 |
| Taco meat with black beans |
 |
| Eggs & sausage for hash or breakfast burritos |
To go
with a salmon fillet and a NY strip steak I put together a cauliflower bake using
sour cream, cheddar cheese and green onions.
Delicious!

| My homemade dill sauce |
I made
some condiments – salad dressing,
dill sauce for fish and a salsa and sour cream sauce to go on taco salads. I also pulled out some home canned chili,
soups and meat options. Using a can of
chicken breast I made a scrumptious curry chicken salad for sandwiches.

In one
meal prep session lasting about four hours I was able to add quite a few good
options to the freezer as well as a nice line up for the week ahead. I made a meal plan that me set up and kept me
well fed for the month without much effort.
In the process I was able to use things I already had on hand, which
works really well to save me a lot of time as well as money on my overall grocery
bill. I had fun with doing my little
meal prep and have enjoyed every bite!
I love prepping meals like this. You did a great job!!

Thank you Janie! :)
DeleteDo you have your Salisbury steak recipe located anywhere? That looks like it would be a smashing hit here. I do a nice country fried steak, but I would like to try something a bit different.
ReplyDeleteChickens are laying like crazy here and I have over 6 dozen eggs. I guess you can guess what we have been eating recently! I have baked a lot of pound cakes, (7 Up cake, to be exact as we had cans lying around for some reason) and have popped them in the freezer to give as gifts. One mini Bundt is an Easter gift to a beloved woman who gave up desserts for Lent. She will be here for Easter dinner and that will be in a basket for her with some beeswax candles.

My chickens are laying like crazy too. I've been sharing with my friends, but I think I might have to bake a cake for strawberry shortcake. The Salisbury steak recipe will post on 4/6. Thank you for asking for it. :)
