As you know, I am attacking my game plan. I have just under 3 weeks until I want to have everything ready for baby. Check out my final weeks before delivery game plan for more details on all I plan to do! The freezer cooking is what I need to tackle first. This is important because I want to spread out this process for as long as possible (I don't want to be a slave to my kitchen at 38 weeks … [Read more...]

This post is written by contributing writer, Stacy from Stacy Makes Cents. I’ll be honest, I’m not a freezer cook at heart. I enjoy my daily time in the kitchen, making meals and cleaning up afterwards. I’m a rare breed, I swim upstream, I argue with fence posts (or at least my Daddy says so).

This post is written by contributing writer, Kimberly from Corner of Birch and Divine. It was not so long ago that I used to fear my refrigerator. I was never sure what it would open up to - slimy fish? stinky chicken? rotten veggies? The horror! I can't count the number of times I opened a package, only to gag at the sight or smell of its contents. I would be forced to throw away what, just a … [Read more...]

I just recently began the venture into freezer cooking. I really had no idea what this meant! Do I cook it and freeze the leftovers? Do I buy it, prepare it and freeze it raw? Do I need to buy lots of Tupperware for storage? How long do things keep? Thankfully, we have answered these questions. However, one big question still loomed: How do we accommodate allergies?
