The Challenge this Month:

To create menus for eating and storing until the baby arrives.

So far, I've only gone out as far as two weeks with seven entrees I can freeze and save for later.

Here's what it looks like so far (starting March 3):

W - KS Fried Chicken (way better deal than KFC)
Th - Bolognese Sauce served over rice* (ATKFC)
F - 15-minute Veggie Bean & Tomato Soup* (RR)
Sa - Stuffed Bell Peppers*
Su - SFGP- Spinach & Artichoke Dip
M - Red Beans & Rice*
Tu - Eating out 'cuz we're picking up my mom from the airport

W - Chicken Tortilla Soup (BH&G)
Th - Chicken Spaghetti* (PW)
F- Onion Baked Salmon
Sa - Chicken & Rice Soup
Su - SFGP - Taco Soup*
M - Pizza
Tu - Zucchini Soup*

*Meals for freezing
- ATKFC = America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook, RR = Rachel Ray, BH&G = Better Homes & Gardens Easy Everday Cooking, PW = Pioneer Woman, OMM = One More Moore

For Lent, our Sundays are taken up with our Small Faith Group meetings (SFGP = Small Faith Group Potlucks). Also because of Lent, we've got to work in our no-meat meals. And I'm not sure what my mom has in store for cooking, so that's why I have trouble planning the last weeks of March.

What I have planned, though, for more make-ahead meals is:
- Adobo
- Chili
- Butternut Squash Soup (OMM)
- Stuffed Shells (ATKFC)
- Baked Ziti (ATKFC)
- Lumpia
- Lasagna

It's going to be a lot of work, but I think I'm going to look forward to eating this month :P
