We ate the line shredded pork in tacos last night. It was delicious!
>Melanie, it would be especially doable if you did one doubled pack per week. I may try that some, too. But honestly it only took about 6-7 hours to prep all 72 meals over two days. Shopping Was the most time spent.Karen, I have meat processed locally, too. I did buy meat for these plans because I was out of chicken and beef and had only pork. However, were I in your shoes, I’d prep all of the veggies/other ingredients and put in the labeled bag with a note in sharpie on the bag to add whatever meat the day of cooking. None of these recipes called for pre cooking anything which was great!
My bags were labeled like this:
Sausage, Spinach, Tomato Soup
8/25/15 – serves 3-4
1. Thaw overnight. (Optional IMO
2. Dump in CP and **add 4 C chicken broth**
3. Cook X-Y hours on low.Okay Christie, now I just need you to come to my house to prep all those meals for me before the baby is born. 🙂 Pretty please?
Okay, I guess I should think about prepping some food in the next few weeks….
Tristan & Christie,
My mom gave me a bunch of those meals after my DS was born. It was very nice! If only I could find the time to do more of them!! I’m just not organized enough to get all the ingredients and find the time to get it done.
We just got a deep freezer last spring and I sooo want to fill it up with baked goods and ready-to-go meals, but so far it hasn’t happened.
Christie, ? I feel silly for not thinking of that myself.
Now, when we’re done school today (we’re half-way done!), I’ll start planning some of these meals.
?
Some of our favorites are 1. taco Grande- mix meat, seasoning salsa, sour cream, cheese and corn. warm through and add tomatoes and lettuce to hard and soft tacos with hot mixture. Started this once when I had limited sour cream and salsa.Works well.
2. Sloppy joe-1 # ground beef cooked with 1 onion (diced) and drained, 2 cups ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar splash of vinegar. much better than canned sauce. use leftovers in chili, goulash, spaghetti.
3. Many lunches my son,13,makes pancakes. Easy and we make the syrup every spring. We also roll them up with jelly and peanut butter on them, with yogurt fruit smoothies.
Homemade drinkable yogurt.
We get our milk from a farm, (Use Whatever milk your family prefers) take whole gallon, warm to about 100 degrees or if you test it with your finger I call it just warm. Dump warm milk into glass gallon sized -old pickle jar. Add 2 Tbsp. of good quality yogurt to it. put lid on and shake. Fill hot water bath,used for canning, borrow your mothers or g-m others, fill 1/2 full with very hot tap water. put the milk jar inside the water bath with lid on resting on the back of your stove. start process by 9am to have finished product by 8pm. Enough yogurt for us for a week. add maple syrup to it or elderberry jelly. Our favorites.During hunting season we have 100 or so pounds of homemade hotdogs made. Just in time for convenient lunches on busy days.. this with homemade dill pickles and milk with an apple is an easy meal.
Thank you all. I have some new recipes to try now and I have a two-week rotating menu made out for this fall.
We seem to be really doing a lot of fish tacos and cajun shrimp tacos lately. Maybe it’s the heat?!
I quit using a recipe but this is close to the one I do … Spicy Fish Tacos; this one is good too … Fish Tacos (light)
I did this one Monday night … google it because the link isn’t working right – http://familycircle.com/recipe/cajun-shrimp-tacos
