OAMC Update

Well my beef prep day went really well. I cooked and froze 10 meals and browned and seasoned enough meat for a few mexican dishes, and another few italian dishes. The whole process took about 3.5 hours, maybe less. I have yet to cook my chicken recipes, and think I'll probably prepare about half a dozen meals tonight when I make dinner. It's really not too hard to double or triple a recipe to store another away for later. Today however, I think will be baking day for Little Miss and I. We usually have one day a week that we spend some time in the kitchen baking and making muffins or bread. I let Little Miss watch, and even help with some stirring a bit. I have some muffins I've been wanting to try, so that will be our plan for the day. I've even read that muffins freeze well, so we'll probably make a few more than I would normally and give it a try.

Hey! Hopefully I'll have some recipes to send your way! My mom and I just successfully made and froze not-yet-fried chicken...amazing! We battered and breaded it, then stuck it in the freezer on a cookie sheet, then took it out and put it in a freezer bag. It looks just like the Tyson frozen chicken!! And John swears that we didn't make it, because he said it was too good. It's definitely one I want to share!

We also did mini-meatloaves in muffin pans, and it's great for when it's just me and Chloe eating lunch and I don't need a lot.

We've baked and froze muffins, but I think they turn out better when you bake them as a bread, because when the muffins thawed out we thought they tasted a bit soggy. But that's just me :)

Good luck with the rest of your OAMC!! I love it! I can't wait to implement this in my own home soon!
