If freezing, combine everything except the tortellini and mozzarella cheese in a freezer bag.
To cook, just dump everything except tortellini and mozzarella in crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours. Add tortellini and cheese and cook for 15-30 more minutes until tortellini is cooked.
It's time for the first recipe in part 3 of my crock pot freezer meals. This recipe was delicious. I doubled the recipe to make 2 meals and we've actually eaten both of them already.
2-3 Chicken Breasts
1 onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
29 ounces diced tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
1 Tbsp dried basil
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
(the above ingredients make one meal, I doubled mine and froze it in 2 bags)
To freeze just combine all ingredients in a freezer bag and freeze. Thaw in refrigerator the night before.
To cook, just toss it all in the crock pot and cook on low or medium for 6 hours. Serve over pasta.
I'm back for another round of crock pot freezer meals. I've done two of these previously- here and here.
This time I purchased all my ingredients at Aldi's for only $225 and ended up with 20 meals. I made a few other freezer meals too, but they're not for the crock pot so I'll post those separately.
Another big memory from 2015 for us what finding out that I am pregnant!! Baby M #3 will be here in May 2016!
I found out when I was just 4 weeks! Crazy early compared to my first two pregnancies. Mike and I are very excited, the kids on the other hand...
Since I had a c-section with Mason I am going to hopefully VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) this time. I've found a great, super supportive doctors office that is known for their VBAC success. As of today I am 23 weeks and have been feeling really good. The baby has been kicking and moving around for the last 6 or so weeks and loves to get really active at bedtime. We had our anatomy ultrasound the other day, but we've decided not to find out the gender for real this time. (That was the plan with Mason, but I couldn't wait) I've gained about 10 lbs so far which is less than with the first two, but I also wasn't taking care of 2 kids those times, so I'm more active this time around. Ultrasound tech says baby weighs about a pound and is a foot long (made me want subway when she said that)
I'll share my belly pics in another post and keep updating as we get closer to welcoming Baby M.
