Baking Days!

The last two days I've participated in the baking/cooking days that Money Saving Mom and LifeasMom hosted! I have enjoyed myself so much since I absolutely love to cook/bake plus, I've gotten lots of stuff put in the freezer to use in the first few weeks after Lily is born!


Here is a rundown of what I made:
Zucchini Casserole (to give to a friend)
Caramel Pie (also for a friend)
2 Homemade Pizzas (for supper last night and to freeze leftovers)
1 batch chocolate chip cookie dough
Ham & Bean Soup (for supper tonight and to freeze leftovers)
Homemade Applesauce
1 batch Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie dough
1 batch granola
3lbs chicken, cooked and shredded


Back row: 2 containers applesauce (1 to freeze and 1 to use now), 5 bags of pizza (frozen, 2-3 slices per bag), chocolate chip cookie dough balls (frozen), 3 bags of granola
Front row: 1 bag of soup (frozen), 2 bags of shredded chicken (frozen), peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough balls (frozen), 1 pineapple cut up.

I'm very happy with all I got done. I know it's really not that much, but it's a start! I hope to have a baking day once each week to get my freezer stocked with meals so I won't have to cook for awhile after the baby is born.

Oh, and just so ya'll don't think that Jacob and I sit around and eat cookies all the time...the cookie dough is for me to make cookies for Jacob's orchestra next week. They have a concert this weekend, and it's tradition for me to make cookies for the kids at their next rehearsal. I'm so glad to have a head start on it!

Check out Money Saving Mom to see how everyone else did with their baking days!

  7. You seriously did all that? Don't tell my husband. I love to bake, but can't stand to cook, so dinners here are boring. Boring. Boring. I haven't made that much food in a month ;o)
