It's me again. Like I said, I probably wouldn't be posting everyday but this weekend was Easter. My sister Connie and her family were in town visiting from Seattle for the week and it got a little busy. Of course, it was back to work for me today also.
I am on a kick right now to create freezer meals. I don't know about you but we tend to eat out way too much. Not only do we spend too much money doing that, we are usually eating fast food which is totally unhealthy. So in my quest to be frugal I want to create meals that I can place in the freezer and take out when I just don't feel like cooking or we are on the go. I want meals that won't take me more than a few minutes to prepare when we are in a rush or meals that I can throw in the slow cooker that morning. One of the meals my family likes is stir fry so to make it really simple I bought a bag of frozen stir fry veggies, cooked my chicken and bagged up brown rice. I placed all the ingredients into a two gallon ziplock bag and put into the freezer. I did three of these so on the days we get busy and tired we can grab one out, cook it in about 15 minutes and eat. The temptation at that point is to head to the fast food joint and I don't want that temptation any more. Besides, by the time we load up the kids, get to the restaurant, place our order, and wait for it to be delivered we could be eating a much healthier meal at home and saving money. What are your favorite quick meals ideas?
