I love meals that make enough to freeze for later. This makes either 3 - 8x8 pans or 1 16x9 and 1 8x8 pan. Each 8x8 pan feeds about 3. As a family of 2 + a picky toddler an 8x8 pan was perfect with a little leftover for lunch. Plus, there's two more in the freezer for later! As a bonus, this is gluten free. Side note- Each 1/4 chicken package makes approximately 6-8 cups of chicken. Recipe adapted from - https://mygluten-freekitchen.com/chicken-broccoli-rice-casserole-gluten-free/

We all love bacon, but we all don't love cleaning grease splatters when cooking it on the stove! Here is how we have been cooking it lately, and it tastes just as good.

Simple ingredients, tasty breakfast.

Ground beef doesn't always need to be made into a burger or taco meat. Here's another easy way to season ground beef to have with Quinoa, Rice or put it on the top of Cauliflower. Make it paleo but eliminating the brown sugar and using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Recipe adapted from http://smilesandwich.com/2015/01/27/15-minute-korean-beef-quinoa-bowl/

The rub in the recipe is just one way you can season your roast, but the instructions for how to cook it can be used for any rub recipe. Make sure you don't leave it in the oven too long, it will continue to cook when you let take it out and let it rest! Recipe courtesy - https://www.frugalmomeh.com/2016/07/sirloin-tip-roast.html

These burritos are a perfect solution for leftover chicken or shredded chicken. They're quick and easy and a little different than your typical burrito flavor. These are great for a frozen single burrito solution as well. Once they're cooked, individually wrap them and toss in the freezer to be heated up later!

This quick recipe is paleo, but I listed the alternative ingredients in parenthesis if you don't have all of them! We have made this with both light and dark meat. Recipe courtesy - https://www.mynaturalfamily.com/recipes/paleo-recipes/paleo-cashew-chicken-recipe/

These are great as is or on top of some zucchini noodles or pasta. Make a double batch and freeze half for later! If you are freezing them I would suggest freezing before cooking in the slow cooker.

This is the perfect way to cook quarter chickens (or thighs) to eat or make into shredded chicken. Slow cooking them makes the meat very tender and fall of the bone. We like making this and eating the quarters as is the first night and then shredding the rest of the chicken to use in another recipe. Quarter chickens make the best shredded chicken. Each package of quarter chickens makes approx 6-8 cups of shredded chicken.

Easy enchiladas made with shredded quarter chickens. We have made these with both green and red enchilada sauce (and prefer the green!). These freeze very well, I like making a double batch so we have a second meal for the future!
