Boiled, sliced and diced chicken, cool, and then placed into Ziploc bags measured out to 2 cups. I mark them with the recipe I plan on using them in, so it is easy once they are frozen.
Blueberry muffins, cooled, and then place in Ziploc bags with 1 muffin in each bag.

1 stick margarine or butter (you can cut back on this)

1 cup chicken broth
1 can cream of chicken soup
8 oz. sour cream
Melt butter and mix well with cracker crumbs. Place 2/3 of crushed crackers on bottom of 9x13-inch baking dish. Place chicken over crackers. Pour mixture of broth, soup, and sour cream over chicken. Sprinkle rest of crackers over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Feeds about 4-6 people.

1/2 box of Caesar seasoned croutons
1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup of chopped red pepper (optional)
approx. 1/2 cup Caesar dressing

Very Berry Blueberry Muffins
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 cup Splenda, granulated
1/4 cup honey
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, thawed
Place over rack in top 1/3 of oven
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. You can either line your muffin pan with paper liners and spray with non-stick cooking spray. I just spray my muffin pan because I like to take them out and freeze.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside
- Beat margarine at medium speed with electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add Splenda and honey, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Alternately add flour mixture and milk. Beat at low speed until blended after each addition. Fold in berries.
- Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups. Bake 20-22 minutes or until golden. Remove immediately and cool on wire rack
