I had another successful Freezer Cooking in an Hour session yesterday. I’m amazed at how much I can get done when I set the timer and just work for an hour without distraction (well, other than the typical interruptions you have when there are three children living at your house!).
Here’s how it went down:
3:30 — Stick the chicken breasts in the oven to bake. (I’ve found this is such a simple way to cook chicken and they end up much more tender and juicy than when I boil them.)
3:32 — Mix up the pancake batter and start cooking the pancakes.
3:45 — Chop the vegetables and saute them. Beat eggs and milk together and pour over vegetables. Roll up all the Breakfast Burritos. Continue cooking pancakes.
4:10 — Chicken is done. Chop and mix together Southwest Rollups. Get interrupted multiple times by children, phone calls… I finally let everyone have a snack of chocolate chip pancakes and that keeps them occupied for awhile.
4:30 — Almost done! Finish rolling up the Southwest Rollups and clean up the kitchen.
5:00 — Get dinner finished and feel completely satisfied at having made six meals in a little over an hour! {Then, as soon as the kitchen is clean, I go collapse on the couch and read aloud to the children. Whew!}
Results of my Freezer Cooking in an Hour session:
24 Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Oatmeal pancakes
1 bag of Southwest Rollup filling
1 bag of chopped cooked chicken
