monday: soup + sandwich night
build your own sandwich bar (explained what ingredients we use in the linked post)
tuesday:
Chicken pot pie or like this (edited to add: I used these recipes as guidelines, and did the following - take it all with a grain of salt):
- first! here's my instagram post on this
- 3-4 potatoes, diced small + 4 TB butter, saute for 5-7 minutes until smells yummy
- add in 1/4 c flour until all potatoes are coated
- add in 3 cups broth + 1/4 c milk/cream/half and half (I used a combo of cream and half and half I needed to use up - let bubble and thicken
- add in 1 rotisserie chicken (shred into smalllll pieces) and 2 bags of frozen mixed vegetables
- add more broth/cream/milk/liquid until desired soupiness
- salt and pepper to taste
- puff pastry + egg wash on top
- freeze or bake
- (refer to recipes for temperatures - I just winged it)
- made enough for 1 small pyrex for dinner and a few freezer meals
- I prefer to use this smaller pyrex size for our dinners, since they fit better in my fridge and a 9x13 is just way too much.
- and I love these or these guys for freezing bakes/casseroles. these are my favorites for freezing soup, smoothie packs, and ground meat (like taco meat or sloppy joes).
- also! for casseroles/bakes, I follow the recipe through, but freeze right before the baking step.
