Thankyou Six Cents for your recipes!

I had lots of help preparing for knee surgery and not knowing how long I would be out of the kitchen I relied on one of my favorite blogs.  Six Cents helped me plan an entire months worth of meals for my family.  Some of our favorites are listed here.


Spaghetti Meat Sauce 
½-1 pound bulk Italian sausage 1-2 pounds ground beef 2 small onions, chopped 1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning 2-3 cloves of garlic 2 (29 ounce) cans tomato sauce 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste 2 (14.5 ounce) cans Italian-style diced tomatoes 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1 teaspoon dried oregano 2 tablespoons sugar
Honey Chicken
8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 cup honey 1/2 cup soy sauce ¼ cup ketchup 2-3 cloves garlic, crushed 1 tsp ginger ½ cup pineapple juice 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1/4 cup water
Sloppy Joes
3-4 pounds lean ground beef 1 onion chopped 1 green bell pepper chopped 1 teaspoon garlic powder 2 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard 2 cups ketchup (enough to make all your meat covered) 2 tablespoons brown sugar Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon Garlic Chicken
4 Cloves Chopped Garlic · ¼ cup Chopped Parsley · 6 lemons juiced (1/3) cup · Salt and pepper to taste · 2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning and boneless skinless chicken breasts.
Taco Meat
3-4 pounds ground beef or ground turkey, 2 packages taco seasoning, 2 small cans of green chiles (according to your spicy preferences), 1 onion chopped, Salt and pepper to taste, ½ cup beef broth

I put each recipe into 2 freezer bags.  Then when I wasn't feeling like cooking I just took a baggie straight out of the freezer and put it into my crockpot and at the end of the day, Dinner was done.  Thankyou six cents for your help!
