July Freezer Meals

This month, I tried OAMM and am loving the 5 meal menus!  So much easier to manage.  I actually only picked 4 out of the 5 since I knew our family wouldn't like the fifth.  I doubled each recipe and hope that we like them!  July Freezer Mini-Menu
BBQ shredded pork (will probably give away since Dan doesn't care for shredded meat--kindly told me after I made it)
Mexican Stuffed Shells--good, probably a 3, kids ate it up
Bacon Spaghetti--not again
Tex Mex Hamburgers (made with homemade hamburger buns) So good! Smelled amazing on grill!  Dan liked the buns too.  So cheap and easy to make these.  A success!

**also more complements on Dijon Mustard Chicken (Ann's recipe) for company! So moist!
