Once a Month Cooking

This past Sunday my husband and I cooked 15 meals for the month and it took about 5 hours of working together to get it all done. Overall the experience was great and I feel so relaxed when I come home from work knowing I have food in the freezer. We made double batches of everything.

Here are the meals we made (with links):
Ground Beef Casserole
Burritos (only 1 batch)
Spaghetti Pie
Broccoli, Chicken/Turkey and Stuffing Casserole
Buffalo Chix Pasta
Layered Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Monterrey Chix Quesadillas
French Toast Sticks

So far we have tried the Buffalo Pasta, Beef Casserole and the Layered Enchilada Casserole. Everything is very good!

Candied Pecans

I made these for my coworkers and hubby's coworkers for Christmas. I have even gotten a request to make more because they are so addictive.

You will need:
1/2 cup egg whites
1 bag pecans or walnuts (usually 4 cups)
1/2 cup sugar
Ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 300. Mix egg white with pecans stirring until pecans are coated evenly. Place pecans on ungreased baking sheets. Evenly place sugar over pecans and stir pecans to coat evenly. Add more sugar if needed. Sprinkle ground cinnamon over pecans and stir to coat evenly. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over pecans. Stir until pecans are evenly coated. Bake 30 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes. Makes 4 cups.
