It would be great to see some new recipes – I’ve been checking this site daily for a long time and have got a lot of great recipes, but haven’t seen any new ones in a long time. Could you post some new ones soon? Thanks!

Did you see my 4 Weeks to Fill Your Freezer series from last month?

I shared quite a few new recipes in that series — and I have plenty more coming soon! I hope that helps!

What are you going to use for the sweetener in the muffins? I’m guessing you don’t use Splenda. Maybe just less turbinado? I’d like to try them.
Crystal says
I’m going to try raw sugar and see how it turns out.
Shelly says
I am trying a few new recipes this week along with a few we love to make.
Hamburgers, Pizza, Honey Teriyaki Chicken, and breakfast for dinner.

Now you have me wanting to try this freezer fudge. I make fudge and other candies and cookies to give away to our neighbors at Christmas each year but that is usually the only time of year I make it. I may just have to give this a try with the kids and see how we like it. I have a recipe for fudge that uses black beans in it to make it more healthy but I have not tried it yet. Maybe I should try out both and compare.

Jillian @ Mom's Cup Of Ambition says
All of my garden veggies are starting to come in, so I’m excited to do some freezer cooking with them. I was planning itall out in my head last night when I couldn’t get back to sleep after my cat woke me up!
Anyway, here’s my menu for the week. It’s a pretty easy one using mostly freezer meals:

We are at the beach this week, so we are trying to save money with utilizing the gas grill that we have at our beach house. So… We have brought many things from our home freezer to grill here…transported in a cooler with ice. It worked great since the beach is 3 hours away! We brought crystals worlds easiest frozen chicken, burgers/hot dogs, spare ribs, some steaks I found at a great deal and then we stopped by a farm stand and got corn, watermelon, some berries, etc. Sides were also brought from home….. Lunches are pb&j, crackers, frozen yogurt tubes….. We’ve budgeted 2 meals out…one was to a local pizza place we love on the beach and we will probably do seafood one night. We are really trying to be careful this year, because years past we’ve really overspent!!!!!

The mashed potato cauliflower bake sounds good. Eggs were on sale for $.50 a dozen and I think I burned my kids out on the boiled egg idea–LOL!

Excited to see you are making freezer fudge! It’s to die for, hope you love it as much as I do. And btw – I love the idea of making freezer burritos – I have a recipe I have been perfecting to use on my husband when I go out of town next week! Thank you for the inspiration!

I’m excited to try it! My husband LOVES having burritos in the freezer; I bet yours will, too!

I’ve already altered it though, because I’m trying not to use the oven since it’s 90 here!
Amanda says
Short week since we’ll be traveling and I’ve already strayed from it and grabbed spaghetti from the freezer tonight because I was having some muscle spasms in my back, but that’s why they’re there, right? http://www.savingmyselfsilly.com/2012/06/menu-plan-618.html

Oh darn, I was trying not to bake too much this week and then I saw “triple chocolate chunk muffins.” Well, I might have to now! 🙂 We’re doing a few French themed meals bc part of our summer fun with my little one is beginning to teach her about “our world.” So this week is France 🙂
