Day one. bam. fin. el dunno.
So the goal of this whole venture is multi-fold. Waste less money. Eat less junk. Be more thoughtful about my/our food choices. And in order to not give into the temptation to order a pizza when the day has been lonnnng and the boys have been craaaazy and Evan is home laaaate, I know I will need to be supremely prepared. Which is going to mean LOTS of pre-made meals that we all love, and are quick and effortless.
So in my freezer thus far:
5 portions ( 1 portion = enough for a meal for all 4 of us) of chicken chili
4 portions of turkey sloppy joe's
2 portions of taco beef
6 adult size ham & cheese "hot pockets" (home made, obviously)
4 kid size ham & cheese "hot pockets"
2 meatloaves
Ridiculous. I could give myself an award for all that cooking. From ONE shopping trip. And I still have a giant stash of chicken and one more recipe to make and freeze tomorrow.
Pretty psyched about this challenge. Only 364 days to go!
