Freezer Cooking Day Part 1

Well, today I woke up and was going to make freezer meals, paint my kitchen,and get some sun. But, first I had to take my husband's car to the dealer to change out the flat tire. Unfortunately, I only got 100 yards from my house before the spare also popped because he put it on BACKWARDS! So, now the breaks may be damaged and we need a new tire and a new spare. Isn't life lovley? So, because the job was going to take them most of the day, I walked 3 miles home because I didn't have anyone who could leave work and pick me up.

Anyway, I got home and did start on my freezer cooking. First, I made Brown Bag Burritos. They were so easy. I cut the recipe in half and only made 10, but that will be 5 meals for hubs and I. I had most of the ingredients on hand, so this only cost me $4 in meat. I also added in a can of rotel.

Here is the mixture...doesn't look like much, but it is delicious!



Then, I rolled them up and wrapped them in paper towel. This will make them easier to heat up later and keep them moist.



Then, I wrapped them in foil.



Finally, I put all 10 back in the tortilla wrap bag--perfect for storage!



I also bought chicken this week and when I got home I just threw it in freezer bags with marinade and put them in the freezer. This way, they will be ready to go after thawing. This is a trick I will use for the rest of my life. No more waiting for the meat to marinade!





Tomorrow I am making a chicken dish for the freezer. I am also going to make a big batch of meatballs. I'm off to paint, but I hope you got some good ideas on how to make dinner easier for you!
