Freezer cooking...CHECK!

Spent Friday evening (well, and early morning Saturday) cooking up a few freezer meals for the boys:

Chicken & Cheese Enchiladas



Meatloaf Baseballs

I made extra


and I made a single batch of a new recipe from Beth Ann (Hi Beth Ann!) - it's called Chipotle Macaroni Casserole - I tasted it- it was yummy - but not as good as Beth Ann's!


Saturday I went over to Nikie's house (Thanks Nikie!) to make a few more:

King Ranch Chicken    

It's ranch as in cowboys and horses - not as in Kraft!
The cheese was supposed to be layered inside - we forgot so it's ontop!


Stuffed Shells

MMMM......


Pork Chop Casserole

This is the one Nikie's family calls dog food because of the way it looks!


We doubled the recipes so we each have a 9x13 pan.  My boys will be able to get two meals (plus leftovers) out of each one.  Not sure if they'll eat them all while I'm gone (last I heard they were going to do Chinesepalooza) but that means I might have a freezer meal or two when I get back.  I'm good with that!

It was so nice to get together like we did!  Just spent time cooking and talking - Her husband Mike (Thanks Mike!) took the kids to the mall so we had the house to ourselves.  We talked about doing this on a regular basis - once a month or so - make a few meals for the freezer.  Sure would help out when it comes to work nights!

Thanks to the Ryan family for allowing me to interrupt your Saturday.  The mom/wife in me feels better having meals in the freezer for my boys.
