For a couple of hours, Himself and I chopped, measured, , browned, and mixed as we put together ingredients to make 8 crockpot meals to freeze ahead of time. Hopefully, there won't be any food prep (other than thawing and dumping the bag contents into the crockpot) for a week or so.
Whatcha doin?
ReplyDeleteIt's good to prepare your food for the week.
Saves a lot of time.
DeleteGreat job. Regine

DeleteI wish I had your 'get up and go'! (I don't usually think about dinner until Husband asks what we're having! LOL)
ReplyDeleteI really hate to cook. I hate the thinking about what to have and the food prep. This way, it's done once and then free time for the rest of the week
DeleteGreat idea! I used to work with a woman years ago who would cook ALL of her meals for the week every Sunday. :-).
ReplyDeleteBecause my mother worked, she used to do that a lot. And that was before the crockpot was invented
DeleteWhat a great idea CJ... I use my crockpot alot but rarely plan ahead that well... We are considering playing golf... Its 80 F today. Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteI want to come to your house!
DeleteI'm finding out my husband has been exposed to covid *humph* We try to be so careful, but even when you do that virus is everywhere :(
ReplyDeleteOh, no!
DeleteGreat idea. I had physio and movement tra<ning today, and now I'm finished! Valerie
ReplyDeleteIt's a time saver
DeleteIt's an interesting concept-- what's the variety of the crockpot meals? We buy a roast (beef or pork) because it's on sale but with two of us we end up eating it over the course of a week and by the fourth day I can't even look at it anymore.
ReplyDeleteThere's a wide variety of meals. Chicken, pork, ground beef, beef. Some cooked with carrots and potatoes.
DeleteLOL, reverse. I have to eat all I froze!
ReplyDelete😺
DeleteI had some roasted vegetables in the freezer from several weeks ago, and they are now in soup for dinner. It looks pretty good! But it wasn’t really planned like your meals.
ReplyDeletebest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
After 37 years of cooking, the activity has lost its charm. I need to have stuff ready to go.
DeleteNice planning. I've never been good at pre-prep like that. But what I really like is that you and the hubby did it together. Now that's love. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWithout Himself, it would have taken me twice as long.
DeleteGo on you two. Can I borrow you guys?:)
ReplyDeleteSure! That would be a fun trip
DeleteWhen I worked in industry and went to school at night, I fixed every meal for the week on Sunday. I mostly fixed food I could eat on the run, because I eat so slowly, 30 minutes for lunch is not long enough for me. Most times I would eat in my car when I was driving from work to school, which was 40 miles. Now I should probably prepare a few meals that I could either add to a crock pot or heat in the microwave. Great idea on your part and great that the two of you did it together.
ReplyDeleteWanted you to know I received your lovely envelope and card(?) today. I will open it and share for T this next week, dear CJ. Thanks in advance.
Glad it finally arrived.
DeleteWonderful and it's great to get things prepared, it always makes things easier 🙂. Enjoy! We've had a busy week with appointments and family visits. Hugs Jo x
