Below are the recipes that I use most often and some tips/tricks I have learned along the way
Crockpot (prep in bag, then freeze)
- Crockpot liner bags are your friend. You can mix everything together, put a twisty-tie on it, and throw in freezer.
- Use a Sharpie to label what it is. Trust me, after a month in the freezer, it all starts to look the same.

One of the easiest ways to save money in your budget is to use shredded chicken from bone-in chicken. It's a lot cheaper and if you do it in the crockpot, it has more of a rotisserie taste to it than boiling chicken.

This is a recipe I got from my mother-in-law that I modified. To make it quicker and easier, I just layer tortillas instead of rolling them. If you get a 9x13 rectangular foil pan, using 1 large tortilla normal and tearing another one, it fits well. So tortilla, filling, tortilla, filling, etc.

Since it is hard to justify packing up the kiddo, driving across town, and paying $3 for one bagel, I decided "it can't be that hard to make bagels." And you know what? It isn't.

My husband is a stereotypical "Man's man" who insists he doesn't know how to cook anything besides Ramen, frozen pizza, and microwaveable chicken nuggets. I can ask him to make Macaroni & Cheese, and instead of reading the directions on the back of the box, he will blankly look at me and ask "How do I make this??"
Similar to trying to get your kids to do something, it's all about how you present the task.

This is a super easy and inexpensive meal that freezes great and can be made in large quantities. I do it often for church group when I need to feed a lot of people but don't want to break the bank. I got this recipe from a friend and no one know where it came from. If you know, please comment and I will give correct citation.
