I must be nesting big-time because in the last few days I have had a burst of energy and got a lot done. And none too soon!! I have been a little freaked out because I have absolutely NOTHING done in preparation for the new baby to come in August. No tiny onsies washed, no car seat ready, nada.
That needed to change! And being that this is baby #3, there will be two other little people for me to take care of when I’m adjusting to a new little one in the household, so I was hoping to get some meals in the freezer ahead of time for those postpartum weeks of chaos. Our local Rainbow Foods was having a good sale on chicken last week so I picked some up along with a book called Don’t Panic, Dinner’s in the Freezer from the library.
Today, I spent about one and a half hours making 4 different recipes out of the book and I am so super excited to have 6 meals all ready to pull out of the freezer when I need them. I have never made anything out of the books before so I hope the recipes are good (they seemed like they would be), but they were super easy so my time was well spent.
It just makes me a little giddy to see all these meals ready for the day I will need them!
I plan to copy down the recipes that I have used so that if they are great I will have them for future cooking. I did write very brief cooking instructions on the bags although that is probably mostly unnecessary. One never knows though, I may be in such a sleep-deprived haze I may need them!!
I have some pork in the fridge I plan to do the same thing with. Yay!
This nesting urge is definitely taking over my life!
