I managed to fit some freezer cooking during a couple of times when my toddler napped, and I did a bunch one afternoon when a dear friend took the girls for a few hours. I also am accomplishing a lot by doubling/tripling/quadrupling the dishes I make for dinner. It take hardly any extra effort to make a large quantity of something versus a small one, and then I have dinner for multiple nights or to freeze. So right now I am making everything in huge quantities!
Here's the cooking I accomplished recently:
- 12 homemade breakfast "hot pockets" using refrigerated crescent rolls
- 24 muffins (from mixes)
- 1 loaf chocolate chip banana bread
- 1 large pan baked oatmeal
- bag of homemade baked chicken nuggets
- huge batch of crock pot BBQ chicken - ate 3 times and 1 dinner in freezer
- huge pot of crock pot beef stew - ate 3 times
how do you make your "hot pockets"?....i find your e-mails very helpful. thanks for sharing and congratulations on the new little one. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnon - For these, I "cheated" and used refrigerated crescent rolls, with a filling of eggs, sausage, and cheese. It definitely made them pretty quick to make, although folding the crescent roll dough around the filling was a bit challenging. I also have made this "from scratch" recipe before:
