Teriyaki Chicken Crock Pot Freezer Meal

Hello Suzies! So as promised this is the first of the crock pot freezer meals that we have tried. The consensus in our house was a double thumbs up. I personally would cut out the pineapple but everyone else liked it so it will be staying just cut in half.  Also I cut up my chicken breasts before putting them into the bags. Hope you like this recipe and it works out for you and your family. Feel free to leave your feedback on this below! I'd love to hear from you!

Teriyaki Chicken 
Medium – Large bag of carrots
Red Onion into Large Chunks 
2 large cans pineapple (undrained)
4 Garlic Cloves 
4 Chicken Breasts 
1 cup teriyaki sauce

Follow directions above, and split everything into two gallon freezer bags. shake it up, seal, label and put in the freezer. Instructions for Bag: Add 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce to crock pot, Cook on low 8 hours or high 4 hours. Serve over hot rice

When Life Gives You Lemons...

...try to return them for grapes!!! ;-)

Hello Suzies!!! Long time now write. I know it has been absolutely forever since I have written and for that I am deeply sorry. Life just...happened...and now that spring is here (although it feels like summer here in Michigan! WOWZA! 89 today!) I am starting my spring cleaning and with that starts the organization projects and decorating to-do list. I am super excited because I also have my very first sewing lesson this Monday with my new sewing machine and the first project on my list is a pillow inspired off a tutorial I found on Pinterest!! I am hoping to be able to post pics and link the tutorial once I finish that for you guys!

The main reason for this post, other than an update, is to let you all know that last week I did a bunch of freezer crockpot meals (also inspired by Pinterest! HA!) and wanted to share my experience and a picture. What I did is made a list of the recipes that I would be making and added the ingredients I didn't have to my grocery list. I came home and left out all the things I would need, washing and prepping meat and veggies as I went. It took about 2 hours to prep and clean up. I made 4 different recipes and made two meals out of each leaving me with 8 freezer meals all together.



We tried one this last weekend, the Teryaki Chicken, and we loved it!!! Super excited to see how the other ones turned out as well. I will post the recipes one by one in the posts to follow as we eat them so I can also do a quick review. I think that you can make most crock pot meals freezer friendly if you know what can and can't be frozen.

Hope everyone is doing great and is enjoying the awesome weather we seem to be having. Spring is definitely here!! :D

Til next time,
