I love cooking batches of meat and putting it in the freezer for quick meals. Last week, I cooked a big package of chicken breasts. We ate 2 of them, and I put 4 in the freezer. I put each piece in a plastic food bag, twist it, then place all of them in a freezer bag. It makes it so easy to pull out just the amount I need.
Thaw the cooked frozen chicken in the fridge. I also will wrap the frozen chicken in foil and heat it up in the oven. Perfect for when I decide to serve it with something else that needs to go in the oven, too.
We had pork chops on the menu last week. I put them in the slow cooker with just some salt and pepper while I was put running kids around. When I got home, I made some rice and frozen peas & carrots.
Our new favorite skillet supper, Sausage Pasta Skillet, was on the menu, too. I served it with cooked spinach this time. I wanted to mix it in the dish before serving. Since spinach is not the favorite of everyone in the family, I served it separately. This is my bowl. I mixed the spinach in after I took the picture. Yum.
I also tried a new recipe last week. If you missed it, check it out. Chicken Sauté with Balsamic-Dried Plum Sauce is very flavorful. The sauce would be good on turkey, too. 🙂
Now, I’m getting ready for Thanksgiving!
