What have you bought this week?

 

Our New Bundle!

I have really been slacking on my blogging...between raising 3 girls, being pregnant and then having all 3 girls playing softball or t-ball, life has been alittle CrAzY to say the least!  But I am really going to try harder because I want to learn and grow and share all this CrAzInEsS with all of you! 

On May 5th, our 4th sweet baby girl finally decided to arrive! We are so happy and so blessed to be able to have 4 children.  Zoe Ann was 8lbs 2 oz and is so precious and such an amazing baby. At the moment she is sleeping through most of the night, only waking once to eat, we doubt that will last forever though so we are enjoying it while we have it!

So now that she's been here for 3 weeks...(time sure does fly when your having fun!) I am really going to try and start posting more deals and ideas. Try being the keyword there... :)

Did you know you can FREEZE this?!

As I am sitting here...and snow is falling outside (blah!) I figured I would do a post on foods that you can freeze!  Alot of these I didn't know about and a few I have tried.  Sometimes when I tell people that I freeze Pillsbury Grands rolls, milk, butter, or cheese I will get the look like, you do what?!  But I have frozen all of those and some for a long period of time and they still taste and cook great!!
Here's a list I found on Pinterest:

• Shredded Cheese – Add a little cornstarch before you freeze and it will help keep the cheese from sticking together.

Chips – Yes you can! It preserves the freshness and they never freeze solid. You can eat them right out of the freezer.

Saltine Crackers

Bread- Wrap in foil or paper towel then place in freezer bag. Do not let any moisture in or out.

Baked Goods

Coffee

Tea Bags

Berries & other Fruits – Buy them in season and freeze at the peak of freshness. You won’t have to pay higher prices in the off season.

Nuts

Butter/Margarine – Can be frozen up to 8 months.

Herbs

Pasta sauce

Granola

Yogurt

Whole Milk (Pour about 1 cup because it will expand when you freeze)

Cut up veggies and freeze for later.

Freeze leftovers of course.

Meats (thats a given)

Dried beans

Rice

Alot of times I will be veggies on sale for example Brocolli was on sale super cheap a few weeks ago, so I bought a bunch, blanched it and then froze it into smaller packages.  I do the same with boneless chicken when it's on sale for $1.99 a pound or less I will stock up and put it into smaller packages for my family.  I can usually get 5 meals out of one 10 lb bag of chicken. 
What are some unique things that you freeze?
