It's not cold outside yet...and it's almost Thanksgiving! But I'm getting in the cooking and baking mood anyway!
I love baking and cooking lots of goodies when I have the time. I was recently inspired by a friend of mine. She has a house full of blessings (kiddos) and I don't know how she does it really but she cooks alot. I recently read on her blog about baking and freezing. Wow! Why hadn't I thought of that before. Bake a whole bunch of goodies and put them in the freezer for later use. I know, it seems obvious.. but I hadn't really thought of it before. I tried the once a month cooking thing...way back before I had kids. I haven't tried it since.
But this made sense to me because my son doesn't like to "fix" anything. Not even a sandwich. He likes to pull stuff out of the freezer and microwave it. So it's easy to buy him those cheap frozen burritos, frozen dinners etc. But I never have liked all the junk that comes along with them. They aren't the most healthy choice! So I spent my day off yesterday baking and baking.
I made about 4 batches of muffins..and put them in freezer bags and stuck them in the freezer! All he has to do in the morning before school is pull one out and microwave it for 20 seconds. Voila! Homemade convenience foods! I also cooked up a batch of taco meat and beans and made about 2 dozen burritos. He loves them! I'm in the process now of making a few loaves of bread in the bread machine to freeze for Thanksgiving. This is so easy! I'm so thankful for friends that show me things and train me in ways I'd never thought of before. Even if they never knew how much they influence those around them. Recipe links below!
Titus 2:4-5 "These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good, and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the word of God."
