Hey all you Budget Savvy friends of mine. I can't believe we are already on week 8 of this challenge. I am particularly excited about this weeks challenge because I not only accomplished it but I took it one step further.
The challenge was to make an extra meal this week and freeze it. I actually made a large batch of one meal and froze half of it. I made a delicious Chicken Cacciatore. I cooked it in the crock pot all day so it was really no work for me except the initial prep. I served it for dinner and then froze the remaining portion. It was a HUGE hit with my kids and so I am looking forward to using it in the next week or so. I served it over ziti pasta and with corn on the cob. I only froze the sauce and I always have extra pasta and veggies so it will be a quick easy meal that we LOVE!
I took this challenge one step further and joined a with a group of women in my neighborhood and formed a freezer meal group. We are having a meeting this week and we will start doing freezer meals the first of September. I can't wait to see the $$$$$ (savings).
Because I completely spaced taking a picture of the chicken cacciatore I decided you might enjoy a picture of the dessert we had yesterday with Sunday dinner. Chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting. Oh they were so yummy!!!
