Today, I am saving time and money by cooking ahead! I am also sticking to items that I have in the pantry or freezer as I have a very small grocery budget this month. Today, I focused on using frozen chicken breast.\u00a0 I\u00a0 was very pleasantly surprised when my instapot was able to cook 10 breast from frozen to done in less than an hour (30 minutes actually pressure time).\u00a0 I shredded those in my kitchen aid and used for a Chicken Taco Casserole<\/a> and Chicken Enchiladas<\/a>. I also froze 2 packs of shredded chicken. The casserole is one of our quick easy items to use on a busy day. Chicken Enchiladas will be lunch tomorrow. While the instapot was working, I started dinner for tonight, which was Creamy Italian Chicken<\/a>. This is a recipe that Amanda has made before so I knew that it was good. That is a total of 5 meals in less than 2 hours of total time.<\/p>\n

Matt made a batch of homemade pimento cheese that we will use for breakfast in the morning . I also pulled out the ingredients for a beef stew for dinner tomorrow night. This recipe is from Zach’s calendar so he is excited to try it.<\/p>\n

The best part of all these meals is cost today is $0! \u00a0 We used all the ingredients from the pantry and freezer. First week of January behind us with a\u00a0 total of $20 spent in groceries!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
