Cooking with the family!

Joy and I decided a couple of months ago we wanted to put together some freezer meals because it's always good to have homemade meals ready to pop in the oven at a moment's notice. We got together on Friday and made 16 meals (well four were made Thursday night) but all-in-all we ended up with 16 meals.

Thursday afternoon we made crockpot spaghetti sauce, we even at it that night for dinner. We ended up with five meals worth of spaghetti sauce, and it was probably one of the best spaghetti sauces I've ever had. Not because I made it but because it was GREAT!

Friday morning we made a big pot of Chili in the crockpot that cooked all day, nothing like my mom's chili on a cold snowy day in April (it's currently a blizzard at my house). We also put together four pans of Mexican lasagna and my mom's lasagna.

T.J. and Morgan got in on the cooking and were great helpers! It was a great day to spend with the kids and Joy and we've got a freezer full of yummy food. (pictures were taken while the chili was still cooking)
