I LOVE sharing in your baking days, I try to imagine you working in your kitchen as I work in mine. I made the cranberry orange bread, we thought it was in the make again category. the spinach rice casserole was a huge hit with my crew, mine was a bit different than you posted. We used 2 cups brown rice cooked in 6 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of chicken broth powder. To this we added 4 eggs, the wilted spinach, dried onion flakes, 2/3 cup milk and about 2 cups cheese. We also added 2 cups of diced cooked chicken, although it certainly would not be missed if omitted. Oh how yummy this was! Thanks again for this blog. Thanks for such good recipes!

My question is, how do you freeze them? I've used freezer bags before, but would it be better toindividually wrap them (like in saran wrap)and then put in a freezer bag? Thanks!

It's wonderful because you can just dump them, already mashed, right in the batter. I can make banana bread anytime now that I have canned bananas. We are out of bread and I am having a baking day, too! French bread, English muffins, cranberry-orange muffins, bagels, chapatis, and banana bread! It will all be eaten by Monday morning, though!

I have a 15 month old and due in april with #2 and love freezer cooking!! You obviously cook the spinach casserole first. Do you freeze it in individual servings and the whole casserole dish? It looks delicious!! I also curious as to how you reheat it! Thanks so much!! What a blessing to have your sister do all this!! I'm gonna try the muffins too...I love that idea!! Kristi ********************** Money Saving Mom here: Um, actually, I didn't end up freezing the casserole. I was going to have my sister freeze the unbaked casserole in a bag, but I just was too hungry for it yesterday so I had her bake it up and we ate some of it yesterday and will eat the rest for lunch today.

Thanks. Love your site! :o) ************************** Money Saving Mom here: Not every day, usually just a few times per week--depending upon how much time and fruit I have! We are out of cupboard space right now (we don't have much cupboard space in our current rental), but I'm looking for a little extra free-standing cupboard to buy and stick in our kitchen so I can have a place to store the juicer and a few other items. I dislike having things out on the countertops if I can help it. I guess it's my minimalistic nature!
