These muffins are a freezer cooking staple for me. They’re very easy, and my kids really like them. They freeze well and can be defrosted and warmed in 30 seconds in the microwave. Just wrap them in a paper towel or cloth napkin, and you’re good to go! I believe I originally found the recipe [...]
Make-It-Yourself Monday: Poppyseed Chicken
January 30, 2012 By Leave a Comment
This recipe is from a little treasure I have called “Cherry’s Cookbook,” which is a little something I compiled for a friend out of her favorite recipe cards with the added bonus that I kept a copy for myself. It says the recipe originally came from someone named Joyce Trahon. Let’s all stop and thank [...]
Five Minute Friday: Gentle
January 27, 2012 By 3 Comments
So, on Fridays, I generally lurk around TheGypsyMama.com, reading what others say in five minutes flat, thinking if the week’s topic says something to me, I MIGHT participate. Most times I don’t.

Remember when I mentioned cooking for friends on bedrest? Well, that’s exactly where this recipe came from…though I don’t really remember if it was delivered before OR after my last baby was born…no matter…it’s delicious! In fact, my daughter enjoyed it so much that she asked me if I had the “structions” so I just [...]

Works-for-Me Wednesday: Freezer Cooking
January 18, 2012 By 1 Comment
Especially when my mom comes to help! This past weekend, that’s just what she did, and my freezer is stocked with ready-to-cook meals, as well as heat-and-eat breakfasts, for the next few months when cooking might prove difficult. I tend to have a LOT of preterm contractions and have ended up on bedrest in [...]
