So today, I woke up in the mood to cook! Matt is going to be working extra hours for the next few weeks and I don't to get behind and start eating out. So I cooked all day! I made two casseroles, 2 meals worth of potato/corn chowder, 2 meals worth of white chicken chili, two loaves of bread, and baked oatmeal for dinner tonight! I froze one casserole and half of each soup and will freeze one loaf of bread. Having 3 meals frozen and 3 in the fridge improves my outlook vastly!!
The fun part of this was I made up a couple recipes as I went. Yup, I invented a Bean and Rice casserole and the potato/corn chowder I improvised from scratch rather than using premade soups. I will post both the recipes for the potato/corn chowder. I think I may hold off on posting the bean/rice casserole til after we eat it. It smelled really good but we are not eating it til tomorrow.
Last week we discovered that having frozen flat bread pizza crusts in the freezer is a kin to having premade frozen pizzas on hand and taste a whole lot better. So tomorrow I plan to make some more pizza crusts to freeze. Keeping cheese, pepperoni, and pizza sauce on hand is easy and in expensive.
Here's to planning ahead and hoping my latest inventions are edible!! LOL

I love the idea of making frozen flat bread pizza crusts! I always crave homemade pizza, but rarely have the stuff on hand to throw it together. This idea makes me think I could do it more often!!
