Last year, our family vacation took us to Colorado. We had a condo with a full kitchen, so I brought pre-made, frozen meals with us. They stayed frozen, or mostly so, for the drive. It was so convenient to have them there! It meant that I could actually BE on vacation, without having to cook, and that we didn't spend a fortune on eating out. To that end, for this year's trip, I think I'll cook double, and freeze half of everything for our trip. You should try it! It's quite fun!
Monday: Pumpkin Waffles, fresh fruit, bacon
Tuesday: Chicken Enchiladas, mexican salad
Mexican Salad:
4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 can corn
1/2 cup salsa
1 can black or pinto beans, drained
4-5 green onions, thinly sliced
Place 1 cup lettuce on each of 4 plates. Mix remaining ingredients and divide evenly on top of lettuce. Serve cold. (By the way, I love this salad for lunch too!)
Make ahead: double the chicken enchiladas, and freeze half in a disposable pan.
Wednesday: Chili Grande, cornbread
Chili Grande
1 lb ground beef or ground turkey, or a combo thereof, uncooked
2 cans chili beans
2 cans stewed tomatoes
1 green pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 envelope (1/4 C.) taco seasoning
Place all ingredients in crockpot. Stir well. Cook on low 8 hours, or on low 2 hours and on high 4 hours. Serve topped with sour cream, cheddar cheese, green onions, or crumbled tortilla chips, if desired. (double the recipe and freeze half, if desired)
Thursday: Creamy Chicken and Rice Casserole, spinach salad
(make ahead: make 2...freeze one in a foil cake pan)
Friday: BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches, fruit salad, baked potato chips
make ahead: double the BBQ pork; freeze in baggies
Saturday: Deep Dish Pizza
make ahead: double the pizza, bake half way, then wrap tightly and freeze.
