Stocking up extra meals

First, let me say, last week my meal didn't work out as planned.  I'm going to try to make it again this week, and see if it works better for me.  It's a Pizza Roll-up, and you have to use the refridgerated french bread for it.  And when I tried to unroll the dough, it was just a mess.  Don't know if it was a faulty batch or not, but I'll try the recipe again this week, and if it doesn't work this time, then I'll scrap that whole idea.  LOL

Anyway, I also plan to be having a couple of double days each week for the next couple of weeks to prepare for an upcoming event here.  We have Vacation Bible School (VBS) at our church in July.  And I always volunteer in it, and of course, the kids always go too.  Well, our VBS is from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. each night.  And volunteers have to be there by 5:00 p.m.  So, every year, it is always a big hassle trying to figure out what is quick enough to make & eat for dinner that week.

Well, a stroke of genius hit me this week, as I was planning out the next few months in my mind.  I'll jsut make up an extra freezer meal each week, and then we'll use THOSE on VBS nights!  Most of the dishes are one-pot sort of things any way.  And this certainly will help feed my family better meals, and be easier on the budget than eating fast food the whole week like how it ususally works out for us!

I'd love to have a couple of extra meals in the freezer at all times anyway so that if a friend or relative is sick or there's a death, you have meals ready to go at a moments notice to take to those families!! 

And food during those kind of down times is a true gift!!!  I just had a baby in March via c-section, and the meals that were brought to me during that time was seriously some of my most cherished gifts we received!!  Took such a burden off of me knowing my family was being fed, and I didn't have to over-extend myself to do it!
