June's Big Cooking Day

Success is mine!

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I got done cooking a lot sooner this time than I did last month. I think that it's mainly because I started making a few things the night before. There were a couple of things that I didn't get around to making, but then there were also a couple dishes that I made more of...like the chicken fried rice and the pulled pork. It helped a lot that I was able to use my mother-in-law's crock pot. I only have one small one and hers is huge (Thanks Jane!).

I also realized that I still have a few dinners left in the freezer from last month's big cooking day!!
Now that I know I'm going to stick with this type of cooking, I think I need to invest in some large cookware, mixing bowls and possibly some more baking sheets.

Breakfast:

• Chocolate chip and banana pancakes (x 5)
  
• Rainbow Pancakes (x 5)
  

Sides:

• Applesauce (x 3)
• Garlic Bread (x2)
  

Dinners:

• Buffalo Chicken Fajitas (x 3)
  


• BBQ Pulled Pork (x 5)
  


• Lasagna Soup (x 3)
  


• Cheesy Ham & Pasta Bake (x 2)
  


• Chicken Fried Rice (x 4)
  


• Pizza Pinwheels (x 1)
  


• Chili (x 3)
  


• Teriyaki Chicken (x 2)
  


• Beef Brisket (x 2)

I really want to try making these Cinnamon Rolls next time. They look delicious and don't seem like they would be that bad for you...
