Making life simple with a Freezer Meal Workshop and Meal Planning
My
Tastefully Simple Freezer Meal workshop was on Saturday. So before I got started I had my little 3 year old helper dump some goodies in the crockpot for supper later.
That was a great idea.
With the menu I chose I had seven meals ready to be assembled. I quickly realized the Roast recipe made a lot. I had happened to buy two small roasts instead of one bigger one which turned out great so I created an additional meal with roast by adding a
Pomegranate Chipotle Sauce I had on hand from
Tastefully Simple. After assembling my meals I took stock of all the meals I have here at hand.
On the left I made a note of how the meal needs to be cooked. On the right I made a note of anything extra I need to add or special instructions if the meal is coming out of the freezer. I was pleased to discover that I had
15 meals ready to go. That's half a month! Since I organized this on paper I can easily write what side I can pull together for these meals on the day I am preparing them. Wait. I said 15 meals! woohoo!
So here's my menu this week:
Next week's menu will just be a matter of filling in the blanks.
What steps have you taken to simplify supper time?
