Filling the Freezer

I do nearly all of my cooking in advance during the school year. I do enjoy cooking, but after a day at work I don't always have the energy. The energy I do have I prefer to spend playing with my son.

I am not a super woman. I do not do this on my own. In fact other than a little planning and some pre-cooking, I just show up for a full day of cooking. It's a big day, but it has big pay offs. At the end of it, I have meals that will feed my family for months. We always try new stuff and make old favorites too. And yes, some stuff freezes really well and some stuff doesn't. We've been doing this for quite a few years though, so we're figuring out all the tricks of the trade. It ends up being tons cheaper too because we are able to buy so much in bulk.

These are my cooking partners. They're my family too. Thanks so much ladies!


We made over fifty pizzas this time (in addition to everything else) - gourmet pizzas if you ask me. I can't wait to try them all. We had to do the dough for each one, and that was a lot to handle. Thankfully Jon and Brighton stopped by for a visit, and helped us out for a bit.

We were all a little crabby and quite tired at the end of the day, but our freezers are overflowing with food. Well worth the ease of making dinner over at this house. I'm so thankful that I get to be a part of this, but I am especially thankful at about 4:30 in the afternoon.
