Well it took me 1 hour and about 15 minutes to cook 7 meals and 3 sides and totally destroy my nice neat kitchen. This week I only prepared 2 meals for the other family because they are going out of town for half the week and I chose not to prep the salad and baked potato meal until tonight. Let me just confess I was not in the cooking mood last night, and if it weren't for you I might have skipped the marathon meal prep all together BUT now that it is done I am sooooo happy that I won' have to worry about "what's for dinner" for the rest of the week- so thanks!
Following is the prep/storage/eat schedule for the week:
Monday: Baked Sweet Potatoes and Vegetable Salad- This morning I will prep the baked potatoes and toss them in the crockpot to cook on low all day. Tonight I will snip the lettuce from the garden and toss with the other vegetables.
Tuesday Night: Oven Fried Chicken and Squash Casserole- I fully prepped the chicken and squash casserole up until final baking and stored both in the refrigerator. Tuesday night I will remove from fridge and bake.
Wednesday Night: Beef Stroganoff- I prepared the recipe in a ziplock storage bag (minus the cream cheese) and then stored ziplock in fridge. Wednesday morning I will dump contents of ziplock in crockpot and cook on low all day. Once home from work I will stir in the cream cheese and finish the recipe.
Thursday Night: Fish Tacos- I seasoned frozen fish and wrapped each fish in a foil packet. I then stored fish in the freezer. Thursday morning I will transfer fish to refrigerator and then Thursday night I will grill the fish packets.
Friday and Saturday Nights: Out or Leftovers
Sunday Night: Chicken Tortilla Soup- I prepared this recipe in a large freezer ziplock bag. I stored ziplock in freezer. Saturday I will transfer soup from freezer to refrigerator. I will dump in crockpot Sunday morning and enjoy soup after church.

ReplyDeleteYea! I'm glad you liked the menu. How fun that we'll be eating the same foods- doesn't take much to amuse or entertain me! Just so you know- I forgot to put the sweet potatoes in the crock this am AND I had a salad for lunch so I am going to have the fish tacos tonight and the sweet potatoes tomorrow!
