I’ve already posted the Freezer Cooking Days results for Saturday and Monday. But I thought I’d make one more post this evening to show how the combination of having a well stocked pantry and cooking and freezing ahead helps to get supper on the table in a hurry and also how you can incorporate freezer cooking into your every day…
Our son is on the Senior High Student Council and they are planning a bake sale at school this week to raise funds. Things that can be sold individually for 25 or 50 cents a piece work best for this kind of bake sale. He’s claimed the baking of cupcakes. So that leaves me with baking some cookies for the…
I love bran muffins, but I’ve been trying to eliminate as many processed foods from our diet as possible and most recipes for bran muffins call for some kind of bran cereal. After searching on-line for different recipes, I borrowed a little from this recipe and a little from that recipe and I came up with a recipe of my…
WOW, what a long day it’s been! It was 1 am before I had everything in the freezer, the dishes done and the kitchen cleaned. Thank goodness for a wonderful teenage son who came to the rescue by drying dishes while I washed. The bread took much longer to rise today that it usually does and that threw my schedule…
WOW, it’s been two months since I last posted. It’s definitely time to do some catching up. I’ve got some projects that I’ve been working on and hope to get those posted over the next little while. But in the meantime, Crystal over at MoneySavingMom and Jessica at LifeAsMom are once again hosting their freezer cooking days and since I’d…
Crystal over at Money Saving Mom and FishMama from Life As Mom are hosting a couple of freezer cooking days. I plan to do most of my baking and cooking tomorrow but this is what I’ve got on the agenda for this afternoon. Cut up and peel pumpkins we used for jack-o-lanterns Steam pumpkin pieces, cool a bit and then…
Last fall, I had Dave ask our landlord if we could put up a clothesline in the backyard. The answer was… yes, as long as it can’t be seen from the street. As you can imagine, that limited our options considerably. I had hoped to put up two posts, one at the back the house and one at the back…
In a bid to beat the heat of the day, we got up early this morning and headed out for our local blueberry u-pick farm. An hour and a half later, we were back home with 3 gallons of sweet tasting organic blueberries. After washing and sorting, we saved out a good sized bowl for desserts and snacks for the…
Last night we had egg rolls for supper. When I was at the store, I only picked up one package of egg roll wrappers since it was just our son and I eating. But I’m so used to making a double batch now that when I was chopping up veggies, I chopped up the usual amount. And that meant that…
Just before Christmas 08, I came across a box of miscellaneous Easter decorations at our local thrift store. You’d think that Easter would have been the last thing on my mind, but one thing I’ve learned over the years is to think ahead. Our children are long past eagerly waiting for Easter Bunny, but I still like to give them…
