It's the beginning of the month, and so it's time for another freezer cooking session. Not that I want to. With summer officially beginning on Monday, I don't really have the time or the gumption to do a cooking marathon, but I do want to make a few things to help summer go smoothly. First of all . . . you guessed it - more breakfast pockets. … [Read more...]
So, Maybe I’m Not Martha . . .
Maybe I'm not Martha, but these things are awesome! I didn't make all of the things on my freezer cooking plan, but I did spend my Happening-Saturday-Night making these breakfast pockets, and they're the best ones I've made so far. I don't know if it made the difference, but I used bread flour this time, and they taste fabulous! When I was a … [Read more...]
More Freezer Cooking Plans!
I've done this for several months now, and I find it quite funny that just as hubby ran out of breakfast pockets, Money Saving Mom is doing another Freezer Cooking Days. So . . . um . . . obviously I'm doing more breakfast pockets. I made them with ham, eggs and cheese last time, but this time I bought some HOT breakfast sausage to use as the … [Read more...]
Freezer Cooking Results
We just returned from dinner out, and I saw that Money Saving Mom has her link-up posted for Freezer Cooking Day. Honestly, it doesn't feel like I spent much time cooking, but I did everything on my list. I think I'm a great example of how you can use "freezer cooking" to make your life easier without devoting an entire day to it. Wednesday … [Read more...]
Freezer Cooking Plan
I consider it quite fortuitous that Money Saving Mom is hosting another Freezer Cooking Day at the exact same time that I need to do some freezer-cooking anyway. I was almost completely out of meat , and today was very happy to find that both boneless/skinless chicken breasts and 93% lean ground beef were on sale at my buy-price of … [Read more...]
Re-Creating Those Frozen Smoothie Mixes
During a recent frozen foods sale, I got some Yoplait Smoothies for quite cheap. Cheaper than I could find them on a regular basis, which was frustrating since we LOVED them. (And especially since our newly cleared clutter area allows us to get to the food processor easily!) I've always loved smoothies. I've even tried to make them before, but … [Read more...]
Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Pockets – Freezer Cooking
The picture below is my smallest, ugliest one. And I think it looks pretty fabulous. And it tasted even better! My original plan turned out to be a little more than I could do, but I was determined to make the breakfast pockets. I really want to have more substantial quick breakfasts available to my kids, and I was sure they … [Read more...]
Freezer Cooking Plan
Just a quick post to share my plans for freezer cooking next week. I normally love to cook up a lot of meat, but at this point, I don't have any sales available to stock up, so I'm going to keep using what I have until a sale comes along. But, I always appreciate some external motivation like Money Saving Mom's Freezer Cooking Days to kick me … [Read more...]
Filling Up the Freezer Again
I had big plans this week. I was totally psyched to do some grocery shopping with a real budget again. And it so happened to coincide with Kroger's Mega Sale. Things were working out perfectly, right? Wrong. So what happened? Puke happened. Lots of it, with multiple kids. Oh well. That's the story of a mom's life right? Don't make … [Read more...]
