We have recently added a little boy to our family! I haven’t posted anything in a while since becoming a family of 5! I have been soaking up all the baby cuddles while trying to keep 3 little ones 4 years old and younger fed and somewhat entertained! Life is certainly a beautiful chaos right now!

My sense of accomplishment these days are having all three children out of pjs and a somewhat warm meal around the time my husband gets home! I have discovered the beauty of dry shampoo and now realize that a daily bath is a luxury! Despite the craziness this is such a beautiful season in my life. However, I don’t know if I was prepared for being pregnant and having a newborn amongst a pandemic.

We have truly been hulled up at home with only immediate family occasionally stopping by. One thing I am so thankful for (besides click list groceries) is having a stocked freezer before his arrival. We have slowly been dwindling it down (and thankfully replacing some space with frozen milk!). I wanted to recap some of my previous posts that I used to stock my freezer. They have been a lifesavers!

I think I had 5 servings of this taco meat frozen. It is so easy to thaw for quick tacos, quesadillas, or taco salad. I think my favorite way to have it is to heat the meat in the microwave, place in a tortilla with shredded cheese and chopped green onions, roll up the tortilla like a burrito, then grill it on the stove until lightly brown.

This recipe is also super easy to make. I love an easy dump in the crockpot and forget it meal!

Every time I make these I triple the recipe! It really doesn’t get easier than these 3 ingredient wonders! I freeze all of them all then take out the desired amount and microwave in 15-30 second intervals. They have been such a blessing after long nights!

This pizza wrapped goodness is my husband’s favorite! The recipe makes 2 large loafs. I fully bake both loaves and freeze one in foil after baking. I thaw it completely, leave it wrapped in the foil, and put it in the oven for about 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees or until it is warmed through and the cheese is melted.

Southern Pork Chops and Rice is certainly a childhood favorite of mine! I doubled this recipe then divided it in 3, 9×9 inch pans. I usually freeze before baking it. When we are ready to eat I thaw completely then bake as normal.

I absolutely love this soup! I alway double it and freeze the leftovers. We are actually about to enjoy some for supper this week with our cold weather that’s coming through!

Some other favorites that I stocked my freezer with are The Pioneer Woman’s Comfort Meatballs. I divided our servings into zip lock bags. They are partially cooked. When ready to eat I thaw and cover in a BBQ like sauce then bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

I also have a couple of pans of Chicken, Bacon, and Ranch Spaghetti, Easy Lasagna, and Banana Crumb muffins that are on my list to blog for you soon!

Sams also came to the rescue with French Toast sticks, Frozen PB& J (don’t judge my girls are crazy about these and some days Momma needs a break!), frozen vegetables, chicken nuggets (that taste like Chick-fil-a), and frozen pre-cooked pulled pork. I also freeze a lot of breads and buns for quick sandwiches.

So that is basically my freezer line up! It certainly has kept us going these past few weeks! I always enjoy making extra and keeping my freezer stocked especially for those days where I’m running on empty! Hopes this helps you too!
