Well last month went pretty good! I loved not having to worry about what to cook each night. I just looked at my calendar, and pulled out the meal from the freezer! I cooked a few new things. The family had a good time giving their imput on the new meals, along with picking their favorites. I have bought all of the food for cooking for April. I did buy most of it on sale, with coupons. I had to go to Wal-mart today and get the rest of what I will need. It worked pretty good having my list made at the beginning of the month, and looking for deals on those items throughout the month. I did change a few things based on the meat I was able to get on sale. Here is my list for this month. I plan on cooking this weekend. I will let you know how it goes!
1. Pizza
2.-4. Weekend
5. Bean Soup (chips)
6. Salisbury Steak (noodles, strawberries, butter beans)
7. Chicken Divan (rice, peaches)
8. Manicotti (garlic bread)
9.-11. Weekend
12. Tacos
13. Roast (rice, strawberries)
14. Pot Pie (peaches)
15. Chili w/Bread Bowls
16-18. Weekend
19. Bean Soup (chips)
20. Pork Loin (rice, peaches, green beans)
21. Chicken Divan (rice, peaches)

26. Tacos
27. Salisbury Steak (mashed potatoes, strawberries, green beans)

I have already fixed the things in green. I am planning on cooking the rest this weekend. I am thinking about making some breakfast burritos, cookies, and pound cake to freeze also. I would love ideas for other things to cook and freeze. I am very new at this, it's only my second month......don't really have a clue what I'm doing! I would love any suggestions! I will post pictures after this weekend!









It sounds like you totally have it under control! I love Chicken Divan, it's one of my total favorites but my husband doesn't like it so I never get to make it. Have you tried any "dump recipes" where you put some chicken in a freezer bag and then toss in some marinade and freeze it? We love them and they are pretty easy to prepare in the crock pot.
