Frugal Friday: Freezer Cooking on the Cheap

November 6, 2009

This week I spent a few days in the kitchen. I was on a mission to fill my freezer with homemade “convenience” items. Rather than start from scratch each night at dinnertime, I will be able to draw from a storehouse of “freezer meals.” Almost all of this month’s meals have been pre-prepped in some [...]

Ultimate Recipe Swap: Make Ahead Meals

November 5, 2009

I don’t have enough time, arms, or sleep. Such is the life of a mother. So, in order to make my “life as MOM” as pleasant as possible, I’ve been trying to develop ways to save time.
More than two arms would look weird, and sleep will come eventually.
Over the weekend I put together a [...]

Freezer Cooking Day #2 – The End Result

November 4, 2009

Very cute cookies, thanks to FishBoy8!
Oh, I’m tired. Two days in the kitchen all the while juggling the running of a full household can be fatiguing. But I know that this will be worth it throughout the month. I think this counts as “working hard during the week in order to enjoy family time on the [...]

Freezer Cooking Day: Mid-Morning Update

Right now the kids are enjoying applesauce hot from the crockpot. FishBoy7 peeled [...]

Freezer Cooking Day #2

November 4, 2009

I went to bed exhausted last night. But, since I’m getting a good habit going this month, I was in bed by 10:30 instead of my usual 1 am. I feel rested and ready to take on the world — or at least my kitchen.
Yesterday I got quite a lot accomplished. Remember my list? I’ve [...]

Slab Apple Pie – Perfect for Fall, Perfect for Freezing

November 3, 2009

I experimented with my traditional apple pie recipe recently by baking it into a 9×13-inch pan, thus the name, Slab Apple Pie. This dessert has several things going for it:

It’s super easy to throw together. I’m not worried about fluting edges or getting the topping in a perfect mound. Just layer the ingredients and bake.
There’s a [...]
