First things first: My poor Husband was sick all weekend with a fever, the flu and possibly strep although he says he is feeling a little better.He took yesterday off work. Now, Vin has a fever and says his throat hurts and Belle has been saying her throat hurts. OH MAN!
On a lighter note: I have never felt more domestic than last night. Went to the grocery store yesterday and picked up boneless skinless chicken breast for $1.99/lb. That is considered a loss leader, so I bought quite a bit! I got ingredients to make several recipes out of the cookbook above. It is really something you can do with any recipe or cook with friends and split the cost to make it less expensive. I love how they give you tips on how to freeze things. So I put on my cute apron and got to work. What a mess it was and I still have to mop the kitchen floor today, but I must say I had fun!!
This is what I ended up with:
24 muffins (poppy seed and blueberry) for breakfasts
Homemade spaghetti sauce (own recipe) - x enough for 3 dinners
Oriental Chicken Strips - x 2
Shredded Salsa Beef - x 2
Chicken cilantro enchiladas - last nights dinner x 2 in the freezer
Cheesy chicken bundles - x 3
4 more plain frozen chicken breasts (huge)
Sounds pretty good, huh? The oriental chicken strips I was thinking on skewers over rice one night and in stir fry veggies the other. The salsa beef in burritos or on top of mexican rice. The cheesy chicken bundles will be good with potatoes and veggies or salad. Lots of options really! I am looking forward to trying more recipes from this book and maybe even getting the second book....
Now I am off to clean my house...We were planning on going to the library today but with Vin sick, we are now going to "play" library and check out books for Bella's room, scan them and read, etc.
Love to all! Have a great week :)

Sounds yummy, made me hungry!! Hope your fam gets all better soon!
Wow! I love it!
So sorry everyone is getting sick...boo!
What are cheesy chicken bundles? They sound yummers!
That's awesome that you made all that food, you must have a 2nd freezer to store it all? That would be a fun thing to do with some girlfriends...if only we lived closer...
Oh yes, I need these books ASAP! I have a Dream Dinners cookbook (same type concept), from when I worked there 5 years ago, but I am a bit burned out on the recipes. That's awesome that you were able to cook all those meals. Hope everyone is feelin' better soon. I think no one should get sick during the summer months, I mean...COME ON, it's too hot!
Ok, I think I need to invest in those books. It would be PERFECT for me. Hope everyone is feeling better. Love ya!
