BIG NEWS!!

So our house has been rocked by some pretty big news this last week...well first about a month ago I found out that I was pregnant. SO excited! Micah and I really wanted to have a third child and it only took two months which is amazing! Then last week we went in for my first ultra sound and learned that we were having identical twins! Yes that's right TWINS!!! So needless to say I've been riding the waves of shock / overwhelmed and excitement. My life is basically work and then go home to rest and read all about having twins. While my poor husband cooks, cleans, and keeps the kids happy. It's crazy how different things are. I honestly just thought I'd eat a little more, but the nutrition is so different. LOTS of protein! If anyone out there has twins please leave a comment I'd love to pick your brain! Hope things in your homes are a little less dramatic but equally good!

My Freezer Meal Books

Sorry, I've been so out of it! The beginning of the year is always such a crazy time for me and unfortunately I've picked up my first nasty cold of the year. I usually don't get sick until October so I'm hoping this isn't the beginnings of a yuckie year!
Anyways...I did do some freezer meals and I have to say that they are a total life saver!!! I only made few different types of meals to begin with. I just didn't have the 8-10 hour day available to make anything more. Here are the three books I got through Amazon and I can't wait to try out some more recipes once I've kicked this nasty thing!

Fix, Freeze, Feast: The Delicious, Money-Saving Way to Feed Your Family. This book as a super yummy Chicken Curry.

Don't Panic - Dinner's in the Freezer: Great-Tasting Meals You Can Make Ahead

30 Day Gourmet's BIG Book of Freezer Cooking. My husband loves the Taco Soup from this one.

So excited to try more recipes!!! Anyone ever tried any of the Hungry Girl books?
