This week is all about meals I can double (or triple) and put extra in the freezer. On days I babysit Mr. B., I often don't feel like cooking a big meal after a long day (especially on Fridays when he doesn't go to preschool for at least part of the day), so I want to put some meals in the freezer for the future babysitting days. I will cook double or even triple of any meal listed with an *asterisk below.
MONDAY
Chili made with ground beef and beans*
TUESDAY
Crockpot country ribs with BBQ sauce
Leftover chili, homemade cole slaw
WEDNESDAY
Chicken Vegetable Stew*
Homemade whole wheat rolls*
THURSDAY
Steak on grill
Green salad, leftover whole wheat rolls
FRIDAY

SATURDAY
Breakfast for Dinner

SUNDAY

Brown rice, gravy, peas, rolls
Breakfasts: Breakfast wraps, oatmeal w/whole wheat toast, cereal with fruit.
Packed Lunches for Jeff: Chili burritos, tuna salad, leftovers, fruit, cheese sticks, yogurt, graham crackers.

You know I'm a To Do List freak. I start every single day with my spiral notebook and pen in hand (sitting out on my deck sipping coffee when the weather allows), and make up my list for the day. No listie, no do-ie! My lists keep me sane. My lists keep me productive. My lists get things done! So you know how happy I was to find a weekly meme on To Do Lists! I'm in! So here's my general list for the WEEK:
Change sheets in master bedroomClean master bath, downstairs bathShampoo carpets upstairsVac and dust downstairsSolicit Christmas gift ideas from family members - start Christmas shopping listCut out new squares for Cathedral Quilt, work on at night while watching TVFinish cutting out new quilt to work on when Mr. B is napping.Clean out refrigerator, inventory what's leftInventory freezer, pantry - organizeTake all "good china" out of dining room hutch and run through dishwasher - prep for ThanksgivingThanksgiving menu- Wash Thanksgiving tablecloth, napkins
Wash kitchen, hallway and bathroom floorsWindex slider, kitchen windows, appliances, front doorWipe down woodwork going upstairs, front doorMenu planningWork with Mr. B on his reading / writing skillsBabysitting Tuesday, Thursday afternoon, FridayVac car- Purchase white Christmas lights for backyard trees - put them up while weather is still warm!

Hey! Thanks for linking up! Awesome list! Let us know how it goes with the christmas lights! pics!!!!
What a great way to do it!! Just double or triple meals!! I tried a big freezer day and was tiring, but good. But, your way sounds doable for most! Good idea.
