Domesticated Bliss

Wil and I rarely have the opportunity to eat dinner together during the week. Typically, I'm at work until after he leaves for school, and he doesn't get home until between 7:30 (at the earliest) and after 10.

Because of this, I rarely cook dinner. In fact...it's quite possible I ate better dinners when I was in college (how sad is that?).

In college, I had a roommate who would make lasagna and chicken enchiladas, a huge thing of them, and then put them in baggies and freeze them to eat later. I remembered her trick and thought it might work for us.

Tonight, we made four meals - Sicilian something or other, pizza spaghetti, chicken and potato casserole and stuffed pasta shells (I looked them up online, because I wasn't sure what types of recipes would be good to freeze). Here they are in our freezer...and taking up most of the room.


This way, we can quickly have a hot meal for dinner (or lunch). I'm hoping it will reduce how often we eat out - meaning it will both be cheaper and healthier. We'll see how it goes...hopefully we'll be doing this again soon.
