Well I had always meant to do freezer meals...

I’ve been meaning to try the once a month freezer meal cooking. I just didn’t plan to start doing it at midnight on a Sunday but that’s when I discovered that the freezer door had been left open and in the 105 degree heat, almost everything was thawed.
The oldest two kids and I threw the entire supply of hamburger into cake pans and put it in the oven. Same with the leg of lamb and a pot roast. Chicken went out on the grill along with all the pork chops. I continued defrosting while the kids fried and microwaved bacon. By 3:30 am we had ziplock bags of spaghetti and meat sauce, teriyaki chicken, hamburger cooked and ready for hamburger helper, chicken ready to be added to anything, a mason jar of bacon bits (and a freezer bag too). I plan on having lamb for dinner tonight and picking up fresh veggies to go with it. Now’s the time of year that I really wish I had a garden and I let my neighbors know that I’m more than willing to take their extra zucchini. When I left for work this morning, I was running a bit late but I did get my average 4 hours of sleep. The kids were still asleep but the kitchen was almost clean.

I'm glad you were able to save some of it at least.
