Wrapping Up a Month of Freezer Cooking
Whew! I did it. It’s been a busy month – and a busy month of freezer cooking. This was the first time I have ever attempted such an ambitious project. I practiced the “Bake Once – Eat Twice” philosophy so doubled my recipes this month. I cooked two of the same meals – one that we ate that night and one (or more) that made its way to the freezer. My freezer is brimming as a result! Take a look.

What is in my freezer after a month of freezer cooking? Note that I made double meals of my recipes – without going over my monthly grocery budget! It is indeed possible. In addition to eating well this month, my freezer is full!

I also discovered that Pinterest is hopping with those who are interested in crock pot applesauce! It’s one of my new favorite recipes, so I’m happy others are enjoying it as well.
