Cooking

Today I got up and decided to do some cooking. I have read blogs about doing a Freezer Cooking Day and Pantry Clean out meals. The Freezer Cooking day is where you cook a lot of meals on one day and freeze them for later. The Pantry Clean out is when you survey your pantry and really try to use up anything in there before you buy more. It helps reduce grocery bills! I quickly looked through the freezer and pantry. These are the meals I tackled today.

1. Put beans in Crockpot for dinner

2. Cooked King Ranch Chicken Cassarole and put in freezer for later.

3. Baked Whole Wheat Banana Nut Bread and froze half for later.

4. Made 4 dozen Homemade Cinnamon Rolls and put in freezer for future events.

Now that I write it down it doesn't seem like a lot but I got it accomplished in 3 hours and that was even with some help from Ethan. Let me know if you have other recipes that are good to make ahead and freeze.
