    I tried out the Pizza Spaghetti Casserole dish tonight. I had made 2 pans of it without ever trying it was pretty good. DH even said that it wasn't bad and offered some recommendations for the next time I make it. They were pretty typical guy stuff; more meat, more cheese, less pasta. Overall I agree with him. Here's how I'd do it for next time:
    -mix the ground meat, pepperoni, sauce, and noodles together. Then top with cheese and more pepperoni.
    -to the meat mixture, I'd add some Parmesan and maybe some green peppers and/or olives.
    -I would like to try doing soysage crumbles instead of turkey. I'd even do sausage, but I'm trying to keep it healthy here.
    -drain the noodles really well. It was a little watery at the bottom of the pan, but it was really NBD.

    I think I'm down to about 8 meals left and I plan on pulling another one out for this week. I go back to work in 2 weeks so I want to beef up my options so that I can pull 2 meals a week. I need to revise and see how much space I really have in my freezer, but I think it's doable. Since it's getting cold too, I want to get more soups prepped. I LOVE SOUP!!
    I found naan bread on special at my local Martin's so I grabbed a bunch at the store and threw them in the freezer for when we make indian or do up a naan pizza.
    This isn't a freezer meal, but I was also able to rouse the family into doing Sunday Family dinners. Each of us (my sibilings and parents) will host dinner every other Sunday or so. Host is in charge of the main course, non-hosts bring sides (salad, bread, veggies, drinks, etc...), and someone brings dessert. This way, I don't have to cook on Sundays but once or twice a month and the family gets to get together. I see this valuable as LO grows bigger and gets time to connect with his cousins. Plus, I get to hand off LO to people who want to hold him and take a break and talk to adults :)

    Recipe for those who wish to try it.

    I have been cooking from fresh lately so I still have a few left. I don't know if I will end up making many more or not because I cook so often anyways.
