My husband is going to have surgery and we have 2 children and I work full time. I am not usually home to make supper...so I am going to make ahead and freeze so it can easily be heated up.

You may give me inspiration to do this for my own family. I have been thinking about it, but never seem to get around to doing it. I too am a new follower and a new blogger myself. I just began staying home this year and homeschooling my 3 girls after teaching for a few years. Can't wait to see your recipes!! WOW~I am so impressed!

After about half a year of reading your posts, I have decided to try a baking day! I have been able to keep my kitchen clean so now it is time to use it! So whatever you bake on your day, I will try at least one thing the next day! =0) It has happened! After about half a year of reading your posts, I have decided to try a baking day!

I'm chuckling because that's actually quite sloppy for me! :) If I'd have known other people besides me were going to be looking at it, I probably would have written a little more neatly. But oh well! Might as well see me exactly as I am, right? You all are so funny and overly kind about the handwriting thing.

I just put about 1lb of them and fill the pot with water and cook on high around 12 pm and they are ready to be seasoned around 6-7! It saves a lot of hassle and cheaper than canned. Plus it uses way less energy. I learned that using the crockpot for beans is a great way to cook them.

I have discovered that just browning a bunch of ground beef and cooking chicken breasts is a great time saver. Also chopping onions and freezing and saving the chicken stock in ziploc bags and freezing are also great money/time savers. Thanks for sharing and good luck with your ambitious day!

People around here 'make' meatballs, and 'make up' with people. :-Q Not a criticism at all. I think it's cool that the internet allows us to converse with people from other parts of the country. It's fun! ****************** Money Saving Mom here: It's probably just how I scribbled it out without thinking last night. We make up with people here, too! But if I'm making a big batch of meatballs for the freezer, I make them up, too. :) I just have to comment on the cute, regional colloquialisms.

A friend turned me on to it a few years ago.I love it,my kids love it.It does seem to work like magic. Hope all is better soon so the baking goes well for you!

I have to look at my list, re-read it a few times, turn it sideways, then right again, THEN can read what the heck I wrote 10 minutes ago! Wish I was home, would join in. Oh wait. I'm in the food hoarder category right now, meaning no room in freezer & banned from shopping til I make more room :) Glad to see that I was not the only one marveling at the super nice handwriting.

It's going around, that's for sure---2 of my 6 have it and 2 more are fighting it off. Good luck with the baking. I got inspired by your post and decided to semi-join you in that I'm cooking a bunch of pinto beans and ham and another pot of homemade English-style baked beans to freeze (I do hope they freeze). That's about all I have the energy for with sick kids and less than 3 hours' sleep last night. PLEASE post your recipes---they sound great! Hope your daughter gets better soon.
