Faith, Home, & Family
I’ve been working on cleaning out my two freezers. By cleaning out, I mean eating the food. I’m doing this in anticipation of my husband getting a deer this hunting season. I hope he gets 3. He would like to turn one into jerky, while I care more about having a freezer full for meals.
One of the things we ate from the freezer last week was fish. I try to serve fish, I would like to have it once a week. My family doesn’t always agree with that, though.
I do believe that I am out of the habit of taking food pictures. Last week, I made a big pan of brownies, my daughter made two loaves of banana bread, and I worked on a recipe for breakfast cookies.
Last Friday night, we were finally able to have a cook out again. This has been one busy, and crazy summer, that left us no time to sit around the fire. So relaxing!
Last week was another week that I didn’t follow the menu. Not because I didn’t try. Because there was so much family stuff going on. We had to get ready for my father in law’s memorial service.
Last week did not go as planned. My menu fell apart after my father in law passed away on Tuesday. Oh, I still fed everyone, but not what was on the menu.
I cooked 15 pounds of hamburger on Tuesday. I used 4 cups, about 2 pounds, for spaghetti sauce that night. I also put 3 -4 cup bags of the cooked hamburger in the freezer. On Wednesday, I turned the remaining hamburger into taco meat. We used 2 cups for dinner that night. Three of the kids weren’t home, that’s why we used so little. lol I put 4 – 3 cup bags, and 1 -2 cup bag of the prepared taco meat in the freezer. That will make for some easy meals!
My new meal plan is going well. So far, the family isn’t complaining about it. lol
I made a birthday cake for my son’s 14th birthday party. He wanted half yellow, and half chocolate. I used two cake mixes. Yes, store bought mixes.
