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…;)
Crystal I have always been curious, what do you mean by snack-y lunch? Thanks 🙂
Here’s our menu…we’re gone for a few days:

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.
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:

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

I love seeing your freezer cooking every week! It helps me to do mine a little at a time as well!
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.

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:
