My Next adventure in Freezer Meals!

As my husband is gone on a 90 day rotation, I decided that I needed to replenish my stock in freezer meals. But this time I decided to add a few people to the mix.... and by a few I mean 7 other moms! The objective to this is, make 10 meals each (70 meals total) and split the cost of the ingredients. I know.. it sounds over whelming. But as long as one spaces the shopping, prep and cooking through-out a few days, it should be nothing to bad.
I had a wonderful friend who owned a freezer meal company. You walked in and told her which meals you wanted and then were sent to a station to where you made your # of meals and then took them home and plopped them in the freezer. Sadly my set-up will not be that pretty. The women will have to mix thier own sauces, and fills thier own pasta shells. But in the long run, it should save them time, and hopefully money.
I will be prepping all of the veggies, (thank the Lord for my food processor and Kitchen Aid) meats, and soups.

What meals are we making?
Stuffed Shells
Sourcream Chicken
Chinese Chicken
Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
Jerk Chicken or Pork
Steak Fajitas
Pot Roast
Chicken and Dumplings
Chili

My adventure to Costco is going to be a heavy one if you know what I mean. I hope to save money by buying those HUGE cans of tomato products (puree, dices and sauce). Buying meats and Veggies in bulk should also help cut costs as well.

In a sick and twisted way, I am really excited and anxious to see how this 'loco' event will run.... I know that it will not only benifit me, but my many friends who are needing that 'stockpile' of meals ready to go.

Again for those who want to know what I am doing- I am following the book Once a Month Cooking Family Favorites By Mimi Wilson and Mary Beth Lagerborg

This books has been SO helpful in maintaining my sanity and being  the picky family we are, we have not complained too much over the food! =)
