Meal Making Marathon (Mmm mmm...)

Last month my Mom and I set out to make 4 different recipes to give us 18 freezer meals each.

We bought all the groceries/ingredients Friday night, and then started the cooking and assembling  process Saturday morning.

6 hours later (not including clean-up), we ended up with 22 meals each.

What we made, # of meals we thought we would get, # we did get:
Chicken Enchiladas, 4 meals each, 4 meals each
Chicken & Biscuits, 4 meals each, 8 meals each
Chicken Pillows, 8 meals each, 7 meals each
Meat Loaf, 2 meals each, 3 meals each

Aside from our calculations being a little off, and having a lot more food than we realized it would be, it was a good day. We got a lot of food to eat and I'm super excited I won't have to cook as often.

Also, I want to give a shout out to my AWESOME husband, Bryce who got me an AWESOME brand new KitchenAid for Christmas. I got to use the KitchenAid with this project and believe me it would have taken us a lot longer than 6 hours if we hadn't have had it. Bryce also was a huge help in cubing some of the chicken for us and cutting the onions and other fun jobs like that, so THANK YOU Brycie!
