What a day!

I absolutely love those days where everything you need to get done gets done. Despite loosing an hour of sleep and getting a late start Jake and I got everything done Sunday. I felt very accomplished :O)

Laundry is almost done and its only 6pm. The only thing left is the bed needs to be made with clean sheets.

Grocery shopping is done.

Most importantly that includes extra shopping for food to make and put in the freezer for the first two weeks in April where I am suppose to be taking it easy. Esther, a great friend of mine, sent me a link to a cooking blog she likes. I can't figure out for the life of me how to post a link on here without the whole long web address posting too, but when I do I will post a link to that blog. It had some really good ideas for things to cook and freeze. I made 2 chicken pot pies, froze one and we had one for dinner on Sunday. There are a few things I will do differently next time...such as cut the potatoes into smaller pieces and make the grave thicker. This time it didn't have a lot of flavor but its a work in progress. I also made 2 Enchilada Casseroles and put both of them in the freezer.

Normally I'm not a big fan of cooking but this was fun. Knowing that there is a really good reason why we need it. And hoping like crazy I will need to redo the process in 9 months. While Jake is at the gym today, Monday night, I am going to make the Pepperoni Lasagnas. We aren't going to eat either of them today, being that Jake bought some pizza coupons from a girl at school today though.

Another friend on facebook, Sarah, sent me a title of a book that she really likes. I have to go look it up now because I can't remember. But I am excited to check that book out too. The more recipes I can get and make the better. I was also going to look for some things that I could put together and freeze for the crock pot.

Needless to say, I'm excited to be getting food into our freezer. It seems a little more expensive right now, being that we did grocery shopping for pretty much 2weeks all at once. But I know it will be worth it, and we wont have to eat Hamburger Helper ever night :O)

on the menu above where you type your blog there is a little button that looks like a world with a chain link on it. in your blog text highlight the word you want to make a link. like - Look HERE for the recipes - highlight 'here' and then with it highlighted click on the button and it will pop up a little window to put a web address in. copy the web address in there and hit done (or whatever it says) and the highlighted word will appear as a link in your published blog. It will have a few bits of wierd code around it before you publish it, but it will be just a word link when it's published.
