OAMC - Once A Month Cooking (Freezer Meals)

I want to start by saying that the recipes we are using are not your grandmothers recipes.  We are not just making mushy, frozen casseroles.  This time around we did all chicken recipes (because it was on sale) and some can easily be adapted into different types of meals.  Also, a lot of these recipes state a number of breasts that for our smaller family and smaller portions (chicken breasts are fairly large these days in a package) could make two meals rather than one.  Below are the recipes with a few of my own pictures. 

Coconut Chicken (found here)

Lemon Glazed Chicken - found in "Don't Panic Dinner's in the Freezer" by Susie Martinez, Vanda Howell, & Bonnie Garcia

I don't have a small chicken pounding tool...so, this was my pounding/flattening tool!

Grilled Honey Lime Chicken - found in "Don't Panic More Dinner's in the Freezer" by Susie Martinez, Vanda Howell, & Bonnie Garcia
Buttermilk Herb Chicken Breasts (found here)
Shredded Slow Cooked Buffalo Chicken (found here)
Chicken & Bean Burritos (found here)

Cranberry Chicken - found in "Don't Panic Dinner's in the Freezer" by Susie Martinez, Vanda Howell, & Bonnie Garcia

Placing bags in bowls helps when putting in liquid ingredients can help.

Pizza Dough & Sauce - recipe link posted in previous post.  The sauce goes a long way, and when I split the dough it is enough for 3-4 personal size pizzas.

This is how happy he is on Homemade pizza night!  He loves making his own.

Shredded Chicken Taco Meat - My Recipe

8 Trimmed Chicken Breasts 

1 package Chicken Taco Seasoning

1-2 small can diced green chilies

2 c. chicken broth

Place all in slow cooker for 6-7 hours on low.  Shred chicken using the mixer method or forks.  I prefer the mixer method (There is a PIN on my Pinterest board - follow me - that shows how to do it!)  Then divide into four portions and place in quart size freezer bags and freeze.

 

These are the books that are mentioned above.  

(I have not been asked or paid to mention these books.  They are just books that we used this time and they have great recipes!)
