Mega Cooking!
Chicken Day!
Chopped Chicken Plan
To freeze the meals, you can use freezer bags.  You can also use Tupperware containers made for freezing that allow you to pop the frozen ingredients out and directly into the baking dish.  You can also line a baking dish with heavy foil, layer the casserole and then freeze.  When frozen you turn the container over and out comes the rectangle of food.  You then re-wrap in more foil, label and put back into the freezer.  You want to put it into the baking dish the day you take it out of the freezer before it defrosts.  With this method you can continue to use the baking dish for other recipes while the prepared meal stays in the freezer.

Kitchen Chaos Index
References and Resource Recommendations

Managing a kitchen in a large family can be a pretty exhausting task.  It certainly isn't something that can take care of itself!  With that in mind I am always looking for ways to make the kitchen experience easier, more enjoyable, or just plain manageable.  Mega cooking, recipes, teaching children how to cook, organizing the kitchen are just some of the topics addressed in my Kitchen Chaos series.  This index contains the entire series, not just the recipes.

Kitchen Chaos Individual Recipe Index

I have posted more than one recipe on each of my cooking pages.  For your convenience I have submitted this individual index so you can find which recipe is on which page.  I hope you enjoy them.  Remember that my recipes are altered to be for a family of twelve.  If your family is smaller, many of the recipes can be prepared as is and then divided and frozen for additional meals during stressful times.  This index is just for listing the recipes and does not include the other kitchen and cooking articles.
