So, my New Year's Resolution has been to be a better cook this year. For those of you who know me (especially former college roommates), this is a HUGE deal for me. Before getting married, I worked at all fast-food places....and this was my "reasoning" in eating out all the time. When Troy and I got married, we decided that we wanted to make sure we have family dinners every night. Of course, there are times that this doesn't happen, but we are doing our best. I am proud to say that in the seven months we have been married, we have probably only eaten out about 15 times. That may be a lot for some families; however, for us this was a big deal! :) Tonight we had this for dinner: Angel Chicken Pasta, Salad, and Home-made Bread sticks...with some crystal-light lemon aid :D (Ignore all of the ranch...it sort of exploded on my plate).
So, I wanted to share something that I came across on Pinterest this week. I thought this was a GENIUS idea! It's called Freezer Cooking. Basically, you take your ingredients, prep them, bag them, freeze them, and then put them in the crock pot on the morning you are ready to eat them. (If you would like to see more of her recipes, check out this blog...SUPER yummy stuff! http://www.ringaroundtherosies.net/2012/02/freezer-cooking.html)
This is what I put together tonight while dinner was in the oven. It is a Teriyaki Chicken crock-pot meal. It is now in the freezer and ready for one of our busy days/nights!
Anyways....until next time, life is going great! We hope you are all doing well!
Ooh yum! It looks like you are a good cook :)
ReplyDeleteAnd that freezer cooking looks like a great way to have delish food on a busy day! I will have to try it :)
