Monday, Monday... So good to me!

So Mondays have become my "freezer cooking" days for the following week. We cook, chop, and prepare as much as we can for the week ahead. Sometimes it takes all day, other days just the morning hours, but no matter how much time we spend that day, it saves hours the rest of the week! I love it!! And after we're done.... what a feeling of accomplishment! This week we made a salad for the week (to be replenished as needed) , meatballs, spaghetti sauce, apple betty, honey-glazed carrots, taco meat for nachos, and enchilada casserole! TA DA!
When mom and I milked cows we did this on a bigger scale for three months ahead, but this works much better for us now. Wisdom is knowing a good idea when you see it and adapting it to fit your lifestyle! We also do things to consolidate, and make things easier when we can. Things like grating cheese and freezing it for example can cut your prep time a great deal. Try it, you might love the time it allows you for other things!
