Salsa Chicken Crock Pot Freezer Meal

1.5 lb chicken breast

1 1/2 cup salsa

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup water

salt

To freeze, just combine everything in freezer bag and freeze. To cook, toss it all in the crock pot and cook on low for 5-6 hours. 

The first time we had this I just served it as whole chicken breasts with some veggies as a side dish. 

The second time, I added taco seasoning and served on tortillas with chips and rice.  It was lots better as tacos, but still good either way. 

Mike said I have to make tacos like this everytime. 

Cheesy Chicken Tater Tot Crock Pot Freezer Meal

Happy Monday! Time for another crock pot freezer meal. 

32 oz frozen tater tots

3 oz bacon bits

1 lb chicken, cubed

8 oz cheddar cheese

3/4 cup milk

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

If freezing, combine everything in a freezer bag with the cheese on the bottom so when you dump it into the crock pot the cheese will be on the top (mine was on the bottom of the crock pot and it was burnt).  

To cook, dump in crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours.

Dry Erase Menu Board

I picked up this dry erase board a couple years ago at a yard sale for $0.50. I used to just write the day of the week and our dinner for the week on it, but since I've been doing freezer meals and shopping for a month's worth of food at a time I decided to step it up a notch. 

First, I measure the board and figured out how to fit 7 squares across and 5 squares vertically so it would look like a calendar. 

Luckily, I had this ruler that was just about perfect for making my lines and spaces fit perfectly. I just put it on my board and drew a straight line with a permanent marker where I needed them. I made sure to not touch or smudge it because that would be a disaster in my book. 

I did all my lines horizontally then did the vertical lines after I made sure it was nice and dry.

Tada! After it was all dry I used my dry erase markers to fill in the days and dinners we would be having. Super easy to erase and rewrite the dates each month but still have the lines. 

I would be lying if I said I don't stare at it every time I go into the kitchen. I'm so proud!
