30 weeks pic, cravings and freezer meals

30 week pic

I have been in super prepared mode lately and kept thinking if I am going to breastfeed and pump, I am going to need somewhere to store all this milk. We have one of those dinky side by side refrigerators and you can store about two pints of ice cream, one frozen pizza and a few frozen meals. So in order to solve this problem we bought a deep freezer on craigslist for $50. Best money we have spent! So now I have a place to store my breast milk, but what about all the other things we could put in that deep freezer........ice cream, freezer meals, home made baby food and half a cow. So I sat down bought an e-recipe book and started buying food in bulk to make our own freezer meals. So the thought process is that we are not going to want to make meals once the little one is here and how nice it will be to pull something out of the freezer and heat it up in 20 mins and voila we have dinner. Here are some of the recipes that we have made so far:

Herb Crusted Pork Chops

Chicken and Broccoli Quiche

Bacon and Leek Quiche

7 different types of Marinated Chicken

Goulash

Sausage, Spinach Cheese Tortellini Soup

Frozen Fruit Cups

We still have lots of room for more, so my goal is to make a meal every week until she arrives.

So one last thing...my cravings. I usually spout off what I am craving and Derek looks at me like I am crazy. My cravings are not weird things put together like peanut and pickles, my cravings are usually something I ate as a child. Just to name a few.....

Nerd Cereal-this product is directly from the 80s.

Hamburger Helper, Skittles, Sprite. And although I have not caved into the cravings listed above. I did manage to make the recipe below. Oreo stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Step 1-Make chocolate chip cookie dough, you can find any recipe online. Grab a bag of double stuff Oreos.

Step 2-Take a small scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough and press an Oreo on top of the cookie dough ball. See picture below.

Step 3-Add another small scoop of cookie dough a place on top of the Oreo. Than gently mold the cookie dough around the Oreo. See picture below.

Step 4-Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees, just like regular cookies.

Step 5- Grab a HUGE glass of milk because you are going to need it to wash down these cookies!
