Freezer Meals

At the start of the new year, my sister and I decided that we would get together once a month to do some freezer meal cooking.  We would make between 6-10 meals.  We figured this would cut  down on the eating out due to lack of motivation to cook dinner.  So far I think we have been doing pretty good.

We had a Freezer Meal cooking night last night.  I always feel so much better after those.  In a couple hours of cooking and chatting with my sis, my freezer is a little fuller and I feel ready for the next couple weeks.

I ended with:
Tatertot Casserole
Baked Potato Soup
Broc/Cauli Cheese Soup
Egg Salad (for lunch, not for the freezer)
Chicken and Rice
Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls


My sister's birthday was coming up, so I made a little more of the Tatertot Casserole and the Baked Potato Soup and gave them to her (for her and her husband) as a birthday present.  


This is the Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls.  Can't wait to try them!!


These are the dishes my sister made.  Her menus consisted of:
(I have to double check with her and will update as soon as I find out.)



The first time we cooked we met at my sisters house and it worked out well.  I had to be very prepared because I needed to haul all of my supplies to her house.  

The second time, we each did our own because we couldn't find a time that worked for both of us.  

This time we met at my house.  Even though it was nicer to have all of my things at my house, I was not as prepared.  I think I figured I didn't need to have everything planned out because I would already have everything I needed.  I was so scatter-brained though.  :(  It didn't help that there were 5 kids (including my nephew) running around asking for snacks and drinks, etc.  Next time we will definitely do it at my sister's house again.
