This weekend I accomplished a new personal record!
15 "Make Ahead Meals" in one day!
2 large lasagnas
3 dozen meatballs
3 meat loafs
1 large pan of cabbage rolls
3 small pans of cabbage rolls
1 large chicken enchilada casserole
1 large chicken broccoli casserole
and 1 small chicken casserole!
It was 6 hours of cooking and a TON of dishes but I admit I loved doing it :)
The pay off...
No cooking for the next month,
homemade dinner despite our busy schedules,
lots of leftovers,
no casserole dishes to clean (I used cheap aluminum pans),
saves money AND
the stress of always trying to think of what's for dinner !
I made all of this with 5 lbs of hamburger and 2 1/2 pounds of chicken,
that equals a 1/2 pound of meat per meal yet with the addition of recipe fillers like rice,beans and noodles everything had PLENTY of meat (even for these carnivores)!
:)
Wow! That's impressive!! Can you come to my house next : - )
