This summer I had planned on doing a lot of cooking with my girls, to store up freezer meals for when the baby came. Then I found out about my partial placenta previa and as the doctor was telling me about the wide range of possibilities, from my placenta moving higher and being no problem, to hospital bed rest and a possible premature birth, I realized that I was very unprepared. Since then I have felt a huge urge to clean closets, cook, and prepare the baby’s room, most of those things I can’t do.
However, I can cook, as long as I am not lifting heavy pots or do canning, I can pretty much cook anything. For the last two weeks I have been trying to make meals that can easily be doubled and frozen. So far I have Chicken Cordon Blu, Sloppy Joes, Taco Meat, Shredded BBQ Chicken, Chicken Fingers and Cooked Chicken Breast (to throw in a salad) all tucked away in my deep freezer. I am feeling pretty good about my prep work, at this rate, if everything goes well and I am not put on strict bed rest (which I am fairly confident I won’t be) I will not have to cook a single meal for the month of August….how cool is that!
(part of the 10 pounds of chicken fingers I made the other day)
Now if I could only figure out a way to pre-wash laundry……
(on that note, I do have a laundry plan, just in case, which I will share in another post)
way to go! I know that is a comfort.
It is a small world, I hope your inlaws get home safe and sound and are much better.

If you figure out how to pre-wash laundry let me know!
What is your recipe and method for making the chicken fingers? And do you just freeze them after they've been cooked? They look lovely and that's one of the few things I have left to convert to homemade.
Great job on cooking ahead. I'm putting some time together next week to do the same.
