Mealtime Monday

Are you ready for our last week of January Meals! After reviewing all the recipes I think I will be able to prepare all 5 recipes plus 2 side dishes in 1.5 hours- if I didn't have to peel and chop potatoes I would think I could even finish early. Below are the designated days I plan to serve the meals and how I will store until final preparations.

Monday: Fish Roll Ups. I will prepare according to recipe and then store in fridge until ready to bake tonight.

Tuesday: Jalapeno Chicken. I will prepare chicken according to recipe and then cover and place in refrigerator until tomorrow night. I will also go ahead and prepare the asparagus foil packets. If weather permits, I will grill both the chicken and asparagus tomorrow night, if too cold I'll just bake both in the oven.

Wednesday: Italian Roast and Rosemary Potatoes. I will prepare the roast in a ziplock bag and store in the refrigerator until Wednesday morning. That morning I will transfer all contents of ziplock bag to crock pot and cook all day. I will prepare potatoes according to recipe then cover and place unbaked potatoes in refrigerator until Wednesday night. Wed night I will take out and bake.

Thursday: Broccoli Cheese Soup. I will go ahead and cook broccoli according to recipe and then transfer to gallon size ziplock freezer bag. I will then add all remaining ingredients except the cornstarch, water, and cheese, to the ziplock. I will store soup in freezer until Wednesday. On Wednesday I will allow the soup to start thawing in the fridge. On Thursday evening I will transfer soup to pot. I will then add water, cornstarch, and cheese and finish according to recipe.

Friday: Vegetable Chicken Pizza. I will prepare pizza according to recipe and then wrap pizza in aluminum foil and place inside freezer until Thursday night. Thursday night I will place in refrigerator to begin thawing. Friday night I'll simply bake and serve.
