Extreme Southern Couponing: Simplifying Life : Supper Edition

I finally decided to try my hand at making freezer meals for dinner. I decided I would start small and only make a weeks worth of dinners. I know you can find millions of recipes and several people make a months worth but I didn't want to overwhelm myself the first time out.

Before Cooking Day:

- Figure out how many days worth of meals you want to make.

- Find the recipes you want to fix

-Grocery shop before cooking day

Things to Have On Hand:

-Quart & Gallon size Freezer Bags

-Aluminum Baking Dishes

-Aluminum Foil

-Sharpie

It's cooking time!

I gathered all the ingredients that I needed and laid them out. I decided it would be easier for me to start and finish one meal at a time, as to not confuse or swamp myself. With the help of my loving hubby this was a lot easier than I had initially thought.

Recipes I chose for the family:

Baked Spaghetti:

Cooked everything as you normally would. Let cool. Add a tad bit of water and spaghetti sauce to the bottom of your freezer pan then layer your spaghetti then freeze.

Cooking Day: Sprinkle cheese on top then bake at 350* long enough for cheese to melt!

Lasagna (Baked)

Same as the Baked Spaghetti, just add a tad of water and sauce to bottom of the pan.

Cooking Day: Add some cheese on top and cook at 350* til cheese is melted.

Chicken Crescent Roll (Baked)

Chili:
Just make your chili as you normally would, maybe think about doubling the batch. We decided to freeze in several bags so we can eat as little or as much as we wanted.
