Creative in the Kitchen

So I had a pretty productive Sunday,
piles of laundry were washed, dried, and hung. The bathrooms are mostly clean and freezer meals are prepped for busy work nights. All in all about 5 meals. 2 Spinach Enchiladas, 2 Cheesy corn and rice casseroles, and 1 French toast casserole. Is it ironic that we ate leftovers for dinner?

I do feel a nice sense of accomplishment in completing this task, I think I may just do this once a month. It solves the big problem that working late causes, I'm so hungry! What's for dinner? and eliminates growling noises.


I put all the meals in small square foil containers, wrapped them in foil and labeled what it was and how to cook it. I know some people use their casserole dishes for this but at .94 cents a container and not having to wash extra dishes, it seems like money well spent. Also Thanksgiving is coming up, I can't have all my casserole dishes in the freezer. I know I could use plastic locking bags, but that just doesn't appeal to me. Eating dinner out of a plastic bag, no thanks!
It's not glamorous but dinner is done!


Ignore the frozen pizza box and vodka bottle, ha!
