Do you ever have one of those days where nothing goes like you thought it would, you forgot to pull anything out of the freezer and you need a dinner idea in a hurry? Me either, but I know some people; and they tell me it’s rough. Actually, it happens more often than I [...]
This is one of the best reasons to have a garden, even if it’s only in a pot on your deck or patio. My garden was so lovely last year and while we enjoyed the tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini, the jalapenos and serrano chiles were some of my favorite garden fare. We used them in [...]

Mmmmmm…..yum, absolutely delicious! You will love this simple homemade version of a classic comfort food. After throwing this together the other night, we will never buy frozen potpies. This is inexpensive, hearty and flavorful. The best part is it goes together in minutes and is simple to prepare. You could definitely make it ahead and [...]
Comfort food at its finest! I was using up some leftover turkey from Easter, but chicken would definitely work just as well in this great new recipe. We ate these smothered crescents for dinner with a salad and heated some in the microwave for lunch the next day. The remainder were flash frozen and then [...]

I recently posted a great buy on split chicken breasts at Hy-Vee stores — only .88/lb! That is definitely a stock-up moment. While split breasts are slightly more work than the flash-frozen, boneless, skinless we’ve all gotten used to, they definitely net a little more “bang for your buck” when it comes to budget, intense [...]
Just two more recipes to go for this first session of my freezer cooking weekend. I doubled both recipes. (Remember I started with a whole loin and cut it into four 2 1/2 lb sections.) I know it’s no surprise to you by now, when I reinterpret or otherwise alter a recipe, but keep in [...]
Thursday, March 11, I did my one-month grocery shop, which I blogged for you here. When I arrived home Thursday afternoon, I unloaded my groceries and got started putting some meals together for the freezer. I new I only had a couple of hours since it was already almost 3:00. The items I managed to [...]
