FREEZER MEALS





With the new addition coming in 3 and 1/2 weeks, it's time to start getting some food ready for my family to eat while I'm recovering from a c-section.  My husband is an absolute wonder in the kitchen.  He is a great cook but he does NOT do recipes.  He is a true cook because when people ask him for a recipe, he's like, "I don't remember what I put in there!"  I read somewhere that good cooks don't need recipes.  They don't let recipes hold them back, they improvise.  So in preparation for the last C-section, I made a menu for the whole month, breakfast, lunch and dinner.  I printed a menu, put in on the fridge, attached the recipes, went and bought the ingredients for every recipe....I had them all ready and prepared.

 Being confined to the bed, I didn't know what was going on in the kitchen.  When they would bring me lunch or dinner (yes, they are sooo wonderful to me) it would be something that was not on THE MENU.   After a while, I told hubs, "You know I made a menu for the month and everything is in ready and in the pantry."  His response - "I hate using recipes!"  Oh - ok, something I wish I would have known before I made a menu.  The truth is, I don't like for him to use a recipe either.  He just throws things together and it is d-d-d-d-d-deeelicious.  However, I am a different story.  Oh, if it's something I'm familiar with, I don't have to use a recipe, otherwise, I use a recipe and do not dare stray from it.

You can imagine how excited I was to find these easy freezer meals on YOU TUBE.  The you tube channel is called EAT AT HOME.  They are EASY!  Years ago I tried once a month cooking and even though I liked the recipes, I didn't like the preparation.  That's what I like about these freezer meals;  I can stuff all the ingredients in a freezer bag so the fam can grab the bag out of the freezer, pop it in the crock pot, turn it on and DONE.

So finally, after all my blabbing, here's the link to the you tube channel.......Happy cooking!
