I created a printable to help you. If you were to use this you could make 5 things in your crockpot (affiliate link)and have enough for ~ 19 meals!!
There are a few things to note:
- These are only suggestions and do not include recipes. This is just to give you an idea of what you could do.
- Okay technically some of these are not "meals" but they are a good start to create a meal from.
- I was definitely on a Mexican food kick when I wrote this.
- The amounts are approximate. If you have a bigger family who eats more, you may not get the same number of freezer items.
- Some grocery items are not listed. Things like spices or butter/oil.
- If you do this each night for a week and are wondering about cleaning your crockpot every night, you can use slow cooker liners. Reynolds liners
are BPA free. (affiliate link)

Speaking of jars of pasta sauces. I thought of you last night as I checked the label of our Kirkland Marinara. Only 6 ingredients (if you don't count the water), and none of them weird! The only slightly off one was citric acid, which I assume is to preserve. Now if they would just make an organic version.
ReplyDeleteThere is an organic one that is the store brand from A&P and it has a really short list of ingredients as well. And the jar it comes in is great. Not sure if you have A&P there?
DeleteNo A&P...that's pretty much an east coast only deal.
DeleteI'll keep my eyes out for other organic brands. Maybe next year I will try to make a bunch of homemade organic sauce. I wanted to can this year, but just never got around to it.
