Day Nine- Heading to the Dump for dinner

Coming out of the freezer

Never fear, my family has been eating since my original food post on Day One. I just got into other little projects. Today, I kept working on the novel roses wreath (much more than a one day project) so I went to the freezer and pulled out a "Dump" meal for dinner.  The term doesn't allude to how awesome and easy this makes dinner time.

When I cook, I like to go all out and cook a LOT but I don't want to do it every day. When I discovered Dump cooking I knew it was a match made in kitchen Heaven. It really is very simple. You DUMP several ingredients in a Ziploc bag and freeze it with the baking instructions written on the bag. If I am not home, there is no reason anyone in this house has to go hungry. They can all ready. Tonight we had Caribbean "Dump" Chicken. I spent one Sunday putting together about 10 different dump recipes. First, I go to GFS in Lexington and get one or two big bags of chicken breasts (I don't like dark meat. Pork also works and I have used chops as well). Then I look at all the "dump" recipes I have seen and pinned on my Yummy  Stuff Board. I write down like items and head to the grocery store. Then I come back home, mix, write on the bags and toss them in the freezer. It's a dream. The night before you want it, you lay the bag in a 9 x 13 dish in the fridge to thaw overnight, then set out at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before you pop it in the oven. It says breasts take less time but I found that to be wrong. I always bake mine for one hour. Yum. Dinner is served.

You can find the original pin HERE and I have pinned it on my Yummy Stuff Board and 365 days of Pinterest in my life Board.
