Since I got out of work super early today (thank goodness) I decided to go ahead and get the commissary shopping out of the way. I've managed get our shopping down to once a month give or take a trip for veggies or dairy items here and there. The hubby has started back with a new cycle as you know, so I try to keep healthy quick snack items on stock for him. His days are so busy and long that he doesn't often have time to stop and eat. A week or so ago he bought one of these "grabbers" as we call them at school. He absolutely loved them and hasn't put them down. Its like applesauce in a squeeze pack. He requested I buy them in bulk when I can. So that I did, taking every last one off the shelf at the commissary. I'm sure they though I was crazy. Another must have for him here lately has been Coconut water, apparently it helps keep your hydrated when out in the horrible heat. I haven't tried one myself but I'll take his word for it. Got to take care of the hubbs, he doesn't ask for much so its the least I can do. :)
Also taking advantage of having gotten off work early I went ahead and made a few freezer meals. I'm trying this out for the first time this month. As much as I love cooking sometimes on long days and late nights for the hubbs its easy just to pull something right out of the freeze that's already prepared and I just have to toss it in the crock pot or oven. And its still a homemade meal and not a store bought frozen freezer box. I'll let you know how they turn out here over the next few weeks.

Can't wait to hear how your freezer meals turn out! I'm thinking I need to do that too before the baby comes. Zach and I tried coconut water a few months back and didn't like it...maybe we're just weird.
I get the Zico coconut water and it is my FAVE. Haven't tried that one, though..
Props to you for planning ahead. I always think of it, but never actually do it! Let me know how those turn out and share the recipes!
I need to get on some freezer meals. It must be so nice to have them ready to go some nights!
I have to try those fruit pouches. I'm hearing about them left and right nowadays.
