Today is a soup day. Yes...in San Antonio...in the middle of August. Some kind of freak weather pattern and it's been low of 72 all week. I know...not really that cold, but cold enough for fleeces and soup ;) We'll be back to tank tops and flipflops next week! (Not really...but I'm sharing this now because it's freezer friendly, delicious and needs to be on your menu … [Read more...]

Sweet Orange Ginger Chicken
This is really a copycat Sweet Fire Chicken. Complete with real orange peels. It's what makes this meal perfect! It's the sweet Thai chili sauce with the orange peels that leak out all their flavors and aromatics into the sauce. Perfection in a bowl right there. Sweet Orange Ginger Chicken 2 large boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite size chunks1/4 … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Beef Tacos
Love me some street tacos. Both when I order them from a taco truck...when I make them at home! These have just the right amount of spice, zest and crunch! (And salsa verde is not spicy at all, so don't let the potential spice turn you away from these amazing tacos.) Enjoy!! Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Beef Tacos 2 lb. beef chuck roast1 tsp ground … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Italian Beef Sandwiches
This kind of sandwich makes me drool. The beef gets to hang out in the slow cooker all day, soaking in all the amazing flavors. Then you shred up the beef with the peppers and onions...serve it on a bun with some cheese. Drool. DROOL. So good. Just so good. I didn't add this in the recipe, but you could even run these under the broiler to really get the cheese nice and … [Read more...]
16 Freezer Friendly Lunch Recipes
I feel like lunch is the forgotten meal of the day. Maybe because I'm not usually home for lunch...sometimes, I am...but usually not. I do lunches during my "morning time block" and then we all rush off into our day with "something for lunch." But it feels like an after thought...probably because of the mad rush out the door that happens every morning. Lunches are tough … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Shredded Pork with Thai Peanut Sauce
We love shredded meats. Like, really love them. They are so easy to make (usually in the slow cooker) and you can 'sauc-ify' them easily to give them such amazing flavor. Then you can use the shredded meats in tacos, enchiladas, on "haystacks" or in soups, etc. This didn't start out as a "haystack" kind of meal...but ended up as one after I finished adding all the … [Read more...]
Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes
Sloppy joes. Quite possibly one of the best and easiest freezer meals ever. Well, "meal starter" anyways. I love having "meal starters" in the freezer, along with complete meals. A meal starter is something like sloppy joe sauce. It's not the entire meal...but part of the meal. The start to a meal. Spaghetti sauce is another great "meal starter." Even just seasoned ground … [Read more...]
Balsamic & Brown Sugar Pork Chops
"Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Pork Chops. "What kind?" The brown sugar and balsamic ones you love so much. "YESSSSSSS!" followed by a giant double arm pump Yes, this is a real conversation. And yes, I'm teaching him how to make these on his own. Because they are his favorite. And because he needs to learn how to cook something other than scrambled … [Read more...]
Freezer Friendly Cilantro Lime Chicken
I like to call meals like this "double cook" meals. It doesn't mean that they are harder to cook, or take twice the amount of time. It just means that they cook in two ways. In this case, the chicken is browned on the stovetop, then baked in the oven. All in the same cast iron skillet. The flavor in this sauce is off the hook. It's cray. It's bae. (Please pardon my … [Read more...]
