A Week of Freezer Meals

A Week of Freezer Meals: Ginger Peach Chicken, Ham and Cheese Sliders, Chicken Enchiladas, and Baked Spaghetti! Last day of the week of Freezer Meals! Today we are bringing you a bonus 4th meal! Happy Friday! 

We have been having the goal of eating out less and cooking more! With school starting, I didn’t realize how time-consuming cooking dinner is and how tiring having no prep is!

Now I can see why I went out to eat so much! We have saved so much money eating at home it’s ridiculous. Anyways, these meals made it easy because I actually wanted to eat them!

We bought our 8×8 tins at Walmart they were 88 cents for 3. These meals are fantastic so definitely give them a try!
