July 2010 Freezer Cooking Plan

This is really my first attempt at freezer cooking meals, so I thought I might as well go for it and make a good sized list, and then I'll know for next time how much I can actually get accomplished in a weekend!

1. Lasagna Roll-ups
2. Taco Meat
3. Marinara Meat Sauce
4. Scalloped Potatoes with Ham
5. Fajita Kits
6. Cookie Batters
7. Zucchini Nut Bread/Muffins
8. Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins/Loaves
9. No Bake Cookies

I'll be posting pictures and documenting my progress throughout the weekend, as I do have to work on Saturday - BOO!  But I think that if I put my mind to it, I can still get most if not all of my list accomplished!

Happy 3 year Anniversary!

 I know that I am a little late posting this, or more like we were a little late celebrating!  Joe and I celebrated our 3-year wedding anniversary on June 16th.  Joe and I always go to Dobbin House in Gettysburg, PA for dinner that night, however, things were very crazy this year for some reason.  So, this past Wednesday Joe and I decided that we had waited long enough and drove up to PA for our anniversary dinner!  It was super yummy!  He thought that I looked beautiful in my new dress as well.  Yeah for another wonderful year of happiness together and to many more!
