Since Craig and I have done a pretty good job cleaning out the freezer this week, it was time to fill it again! I made
my favorite chili recipe. It has ground chicken, mild Italian sausage, beer, and some hot sauce and cayenne pepper for a little heat. Love this recipe! After it cooks in the slow cooker I let it come to room temperature and freeze it in gallon Ziplock bags placed flat on a cookie sheet. Once it freezes, you can remove the cookie sheet and just stack the bags to save room in the freezer. Craig had a bowl before I put it in the freezer. I serve it topped with mac and cheese. I learned that from my mom and my stepdad, Ken. Ken's motto for mixing foods together: "It all goes to the same place!"
I made a new
veggie lasagna recipe as well. I doubled it--which I usually do when I make a lasagna. I replaced the zucchini with cauliflower, and seasoned the veggies with salt to taste (probably a little more than listed in the recipe). I also tossed in a few cayenne pepper flakes since they were still out on the counter from the chili. The vegetable mixture tasted great so I have high hopes for this one :-)
