Foodie Friday: Freezable Egg Casseroles!

Welcome to our very first Foodie Friday! One of the top questions that I get asked is how we manage to eat healthily with a two year old, a one year old, a garage gym ministry, and have a normal 8-5 job and family life. And it is a great question. Life is busy so how do you make healthy eating a priority? Each week I will post up recipes, tips and tricks, tutorials, and more to help you make great food choices for your family. 


So, today I am going to let you in on a huge secret. My biggest tricks is to make food in huge batches and freeze it! Today I am going to share with you how to make THREE huge egg casseroles that are freezer friendly, easy to cook, and delicious. So, ready for your shopping list? I have two versions, one with the spices and one without. If you cook regularly, you probably already own everything listed in red. If you are new to this whole cooking thing you may need to purchase everything on the list. 

If you are the well stocked cook and you already own all the red, then if you purchase only the ingredients in blue the total cost comes out to $31.14. That means $10.38 per pan or $1.56 per meal (roughly six servings). That is amazing!  

If you are just starting out, obviously there will be more expenses, but then you will have all of spices and foil left over for more cooking adventures!So, if you have to purchase all of the ingredients the total cost will come out to $50.69. That means $16.69 per pan or $2.78 per meal (roughly six servings). Still amazing! 

At this point you are probably wondering how to make the casseroles. Good question!

1.) Mix 12 eggs with 1/2 can of coconut milk  
2..) Pour 1/2 bag of frozen veggies in pan
3.) Pour oregano and Basil
4.) Top with cheese
5.) Cover with tinfoil, and I always mark the tinfoil with what it contains and how long to cook it (400 degrees from frozen it takes 2.5 hours)
6.) replace lid and freeze
