    I am so glad to see you bring back your freezer cooking in an hour posts! I have been stocking my freezer all summer thanks to our CSA. I can’t wait until I get to step out of the kitchen and start enjoying all of those freezer meals this fall and winter.

    Here is our menu for the week:

      I love our CSA, too! This is our first year with it and it’s been great enjoying fresh veggies daily.

    So glad you enjoyed my mini bbq chicken pizza recipe! Thanks so much for sharing :)

  • Jessica @ Loving My Nest August 21, 2012 at 12:21 am

    Just did a HUGE freezer filling session (like 34 meals worth!) I like to do a bunch all at once when the meats are on sale rather then just doing a few freezer meals.

    Thank you for the breadstick recipe. We made them yesterday and they were amazing. I even used half whole wheat flour (family usually doesn’t like this) and they were so good!!!!

    • Crystal August 21, 2012 at 06:49 am

      You are so welcome! I’m glad your family enjoyed them!

    I have got to make some of those oatmeal packets. I know my little girl would love them.

    Here’s my menu. I’m excited to be having a few fall-ish meals again:

  • Laura @ Unpunctuated Life August 21, 2012 at 10:43 am

    I only plan out dinners–my husband is a diehard oatmeal eater at breakfast, and I tend to mix things up. Lunches are either simple leftovers or sandwiches, with nibblies and cut-up veggies that I package up at the beginning of the week.

    I actually haven’t been grocery shopping yet this week because we were backpacking all weekend and yesterday was a crazy day! But I made our menu plan and shopping list this morning:

    Tonight – ham and gruyere quiche from PlainChicken.com; steamed frozen broccoli
    Wednesday – my husband has dinner at an event, so I will have grilled cheese and steamed frozen edemame
    Thursday – pork enchiladas from my favorite recipe; brown rice; corn
    Friday – grilled steak on the George Foreman (bought on Manager’s Special and frozen!); roasted potatoes; green beans
    Saturday – after a busy day at a community service event, I’ll cook up some spaghetti to top with meat sauce from the freezer
    Sunday – potluck at a church event; I’m bringing a vat of potato salad from a great Redbook recipe

    So that’s it! As much as sometimes it stresses me out, I really love having a meal plan and knowing what I can look forward to every night.

  • Tiffany August 21, 2012 at 11:32 am

    For the pizza muffins, what is the best way to freeze them and what is the best way to reheat them? I am going away for the weekend and I was thinking this would be a good dish for my husband to reheat…;)
