Preparing
I wanted to get some meals in the freezer that we could pull out on days when there were not any leftovers to eat on the designated leftover day, so I went through the pantry and found that I had quite a few bottles of marinades. Using a bag holder to place the meat and pour in the marinade, it only took minutes to prepare all of these.
1 bag chicken fajita marinade
1 bag chicken Aji Marilla Chicken marinade
1 bag Carne Asada Beef marinade
1 bag Golden BBQ chicken marinade
1 bag Pork chop marinade
1 bag shredded beef marinade
1 bag Thai crab salad marinade
1 bag classic chicken BBQ marinade
1 bag Lemon Pepper chicken marinade
1 bag Thai shrimp marinade
