The Hatch Life: Make Ahead Freezer Meals

Hello!

It's been a bit chaotic in our house lately. Kurt's cousin, Shaun, moved in a couple weeks ago. He is staying in our guest bedroom. It is nice to have company and he really is a great help around the house. It is only a temporary thing, but we don't mind :)

Over this past weekend, on Saturday, we went to an adoption orientation at the agency we are going through. A lot of the information we already knew about, but we did get to speak to some actual birth mothers and that was really cool. We also found out that there is a chance I get to be in the room for the birth and Kurt might also be able to cut the cord, wowza!

On Sunday, we went to some of our best friend's house and my girlfriend Carli, she runs the sweet blog calls "A sibling for Silly Lily" decided we wanted to make some delicious foods to freeze, to throw in the crock pot for those super busy days! We had 9 meals to cook, one for each of us, so a total of 16 meals. Although, we stopped at 14 because it was getting late fast. Not only did we cook delicious meals, we also made some staples: Dry Onion Soup Mix, Italian Dressing Mix, etc.

We had so much and decided we will be doing this monthly. We literally made 14 meals and all of those staples in 3 hours. Can't beat it!

The meals we cooked are as follows:

Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken
Flank Steak Fajitas
Slow-Cooker Chicken and Dumplings
Taco Soup
Healthy Mama BBQ Chicken
Olive Garden Pasta Fagioli Soup
Cream Cheese Chicken

I will, if wanted, post the recipes in a later post. Here are some great pictures :)
