Freezer cooking day

I got everything done that I planned to do! I didn't finish until about 8 pm, so next time I will probably not try to make quite at many things...that was a lot of dishes :)

Here are some pictures of what I made. Hopefully this will last us a while.

- 4 lbs. ground beef fried up


- 6 chicken breasts cooked and diced


- Pot of cooked pinto beans, divided into 2 cup portions







- 22 pancakes


- Homemade hashbrowns





I lost track of time, and I baked the potatoes for the hashbrowns a little too long, because when I tried to grate them they were very soft and starchy, so it didn't work very well. I went ahead and froze some grated potatoes, and I'll see if they end up tasting good as hashbrowns, but I just froze the rest of the baked potatoes to use in fried potatoes. Oh well, I can't be perfect at everything :)

- 8 breakfast burritos


- 18 chocolate chip banana muffins


- 6 peaches, peeled, sliced, and frozen

 I flash froze the peach slices on a cookie sheet for about 30 minutes so they wouldn't all stick together in the container.


- Vanilla ice cream




- 16 granola bars
