Here is a picture of my most recent cooking day (minus the lasagna roll ups since they are currently flash freezing in the freezer). This month I decided to try just using ziplock bags instead of my more expensive food saver bags. We'll see if it makes any difference this month!
I intended to do my next cooking day on Monday (labor day) since we have off. But I decided to squeeze the cooking into extra time I had on the weekend so that we could all do something fun on Monday instead. So I cooked after the girls went to bed, and when they napped. It took a little longer this time only because I couldn't really get into a groove, but I don't think I was as tired afterwards because I did it in little spurts. My kitchen was cleaner too because I could keep running the dishwasher. All in all, I think I spent about 6 1/2 hours cooking...and look at all of the meals I have ready to go now!
This month I tried multiple new recipes, so keep checking back as I'll post the new recipes after we try them!
So here is what I cooked and/or prepared this time:
1. Chicken Nuggets and seasoned breading
2. Bubble Up Casserole
3. Easy Chicken Marinade
4. French Dip Sandwiches
5. Lasagna Roll Ups
6-8. Chimichanga's (3 meals worth)
9. Chicken Enchilada Casserole
10. Chicken for Cornflake Chicken Bake
11. Sloppy Joe Casserole
12. Crock pot Tangy BBQ Sandwiches
13. Skillet Tacos
14- 15. Supper on a Bun (2 meals)
16. Deep Dish Pizza Casserole
17. Iowa State Fair Guinea Grinders
18. Tex-Mex Chicken
19. Rice Pie
20-22. Lasagna Roll Ups (3 meals worth)
Below is the menu for Sept and the beginning of Oct. As you can see I don't have to cook again until October 11th...which is conveniently our next day off from school!

Yeah for Tracy! I really wish we lived closer after reading this...we could each take half and double and share OR do it together. Do you do that with anyone? There are a few that I'd like to learn about the lasagna rollups, the taco skillet, and one other I can't recall. Also, woohoo for Jaime's peppers! and Birthday dinners out!
