I wanted to share a couple of more marinades that I used today for my  freezer cooking session:

Lemon Chicken 

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used thighs and legs)

5 Tablespoons of Lemon Pepper seasoning

2 Tablespoons melted butter

1 sliced lemon

1 teaspoon parsley

Cook: Place in a crockpot, remove lemon rinds and cook on low for 8-10 minutes

Honey Lime Chicken

4 chicken breasts (I used legs and thighs)

1/3 cup GF soy sauce

1/4 cup lime juice (I used lemon)

1/2 cup honey

Mix a freezer ziploc. Remove from marinade before cooking.

You can barbecue on the grill or 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes.

Here is what I ended up making for freezing: Five bags with marinades and one bag of just legs and just thighs. I also had three breasts that I was going to cook but I’m just going to freeze. So that is 8 meals!

 

These are the last two on the end of the  year task. I already started the 52 Week Organized Home Challenge so I’ll share about that next week. I will be posting a week behind.

6.  Reduce Toy Clutter.

Finally! I had time to get into my son’s room!

We decluttered his “dress up” box. It had lots of old Star Wars costumes that he does not fit into anymore. He used to love hats and we found several too-small hats. So at the end, he only had 1-2 things left.

We also decluttered some stuffed animals and other toys.

I still can’t get him to let go of his Hot Wheels track and cars even though he hasn’t played with them in years.

Maybe next year.

7. Start Freezer Cooking. 

I’ve been freezer cooking for a while. I do, however, get off the tracks sometimes. So this weekend I will be making several marinades and freezing bags of chicken. The chicken was on sale at Safeway for $1.49 a pound. It’s the cheapest I’ve seen it in a while so I bought several trays to get these bags assembled. Here are some of the recipes:

Here is what is left on my list:

4.  Purge Your Existing Paperwork. 

I spent 10-15 minutes shredding all the paperwork that I decided was not worth keeping. I also filed whatever was left.

5.  Create a Cleaning Bin in each Bathroom.

Last year I created bins for each bathroom, so I don’t really feel like I need to do that again. However, some of my supplies are running low so I am going to refill my bottles and make a shopping list.

Something I did this year that I really liked was I cut up old towels and white t-shirts for cleaning. I used to use paper towels and so now I can reuse my rags. The t-shirts do a nice job on the mirrors.
