It's pretty overwhelming to do that many meals at once, I'm not gonna lie. There were 6 of us this time and while that makes for more work, it also makes for more hands. I don't think I would have gotten 23 meals done by myself in that time! And I certainly would not have enjoyed myself so much!
If anyone is interested in doing freezer meals with a group and wants to know "how we did it", feel free to email me and I will send you some info. If you are local and want to join a session, that's cool too.
With freezer meals (maybe with all meals!), the key is organization. And man, it takes a whole lot to get organized for a month of meals. Feel free to take it small and freeze a couple things on the weekend. Several meals made 2 bags so you can have one now and one later:
- Honey and Spice Glazed Pork Chops
- Orange Beef Stew
- Best Ever Meatballs
- Bacon Jalapeno Stuffed Grilled Pork Tenderloin
- Monterrey Chicken
- Cilantro Shrimp
As always, you can bypass the freezer and just throw it in your crockpot the morning of (or mix it up the night before and turn it on the morning of).
Here is this month's menu. The Bacon Jalapeno Stuffed Grilled Pork Tenderloin is special enough to make for Christmas Eve or Christmas day. I have shared my Christmas Day menu with you as well. It's pretty fancy, but the rest of the meals are quick, easy and delicious! Please share if you tried any and how you liked them! I love feedback!
Take some time to get prepared this month. It is so crazy with the parties, errands and running around. If you take a minute to do some planning, you might avoid spending a fortune on eating out! Take it from a girl who learned her lesson (and gained extra pounds!) last year.
Now, bring us some figgy pudding!
