Freezer Cooking

So, we don't have the CSA this season. There's so much going on in the next few months, and we'll be gone so often that it just wasn't worth it. Instead, we're trying out something I found while perusing Pinterest. Freezer cooking.

Well... you don't cook with your freezer, you just make large amounts of meals ahead of time, toss them  in the crock pot in the morning an forget about them until you get home from work and voilla!

This is what our freezer looks like (though there's a bag of french dip soup in there now too...)

We tossed together a bag of teriyaki chicken (Just cubed chicken, a can of  pinapple, a quartered onion and a chopped red pepper - add the teriyaki sauce when you toss it in the crock).

There's a bag with French Dip Soup (Loads of Onion, cubed beef, garlic, brown sugar, thyme and cumin - add merlot and beef broth when you toss it in the crock)

And we made a taco meat loaf (it's in the flat cake pan on the bottom of the top shelf) The recipe for that is here.

There's BBQ Chicken, Chicken Spaghetti from this live journal account (No, I am not pregnant - that just happens to be the reason she was doing it)



Beef Stew, Chicken Tortilla Soup, and Pork chops and Veggies from this blog (I changed up the pork to use porkchops we already had.)

In the end we have over 2 weeks worth of food from a $115 shopping trip - and no coupons were necessary!
