Well, right after the Christmas the flu hit my three-year-old for a little over a week. :( He recovered and my asthma started acting up (and still is...thank you Southern Indiana weather...NOT). I jumped back into the school thing, and am on my way to earning a degree...finally. Which is great . . . but not easy taking a full class load (2 on campus and 2 online) with a 3 year old and 11 month old running around.
Going back to school always befuddles me. I think I know what I want to do and then I get into certain classes and I think - oh...I want to do that. And I have to remind myself that this is why I never finished in the first place and to FOCUS. I actually enjoy most of my classes and that's the problem; I could be a career-student. Just bounce around from this area to that. Go ahead, call me a nerd. My secret shame is out. Haha.
Anyhoo, after shopping at the store for so many "special" things (holiday meals, appetizers for parties, etc.) our staple supplies have dwindled and we are in serious need of a good grocery trip. So, tomorrow, I'm headed out to get supplies for another freezer-cooking venture. But this time, I'm doing it with a friend! My sister-in-law and I are going shopping together, then we'll bag together, and then we'll split the bags to stock our freezers! Not only will I be productive, it will probably prove to be a fun (or funny) adventure!
If you want to begin your freezer journey but are still skeptical or afraid ...I've made it super easy for you! Go to my The Family Dinner blog and you'll find that my latest post includes links that will take you to printable docs -- one is master recipe bank with bagging and serving instructions and the other is the master shopping list for all the recipes. Ta-Da! The hardest part is done for you. And to make it more fun, grab a friend and do it together! *Just be sure you double the ingredients on the shopping list so you each have 22, that's right 22, meals to take home!
