Haha I think those girls are inspiring all of us :) I actually did a big freezer batch of Bee Rocks the other day – just doubled my usual filling recipe and doubled the dough, we had some for dinner and now I have 20-odd neatly wrapped pockets for the freezer! I’m planning on doubling the pizza dough when I do pizza night this week and making a batch of pepperoni hot pockets to add to the freezer….it’s not too bad if you just double what you’re already making!

Those muffins look yummy! I haven’t tried freezing muffins yet; just pancakes and chicken (but not together, lol!). I need a buddy for the once-a-month thing!

Good job, Andrea!

They look yummy! I’m still trying to find a partner in crime for once a month cooking. I love the concept! :-)

I freeze batches of pancakes, waffles, french toast, muffins, crockpot oatmeal, and mashed potatoes. Makes life easier, that’s for sure.

I love the idea of freezer cooking breakfast items. I don’t always have the time or freezer space to do a month’s worth of dinners. However, I did just make a double batch of my chewy oatmeal raisin bars that the kids snack on. They’re super easy to make and I went ahead and froze most of them. I can pull enough out each morning for them to have later in the day for snacks.

Great job! I tend to make muffins, pancakes, waffles, etc… in bulk. Then when the kids are starving they can get a muffin out of the freezer. Very easy!

I love freezer cooking! I used to do a marathon day of it and make enough meals to last a couple of months.
My favorite recipes: beef stew, chili, or anything else that goes in the crockpot. You can freeze those in ziploc bags, dump the frozen contents into the crockpot, turn that puppy on and you’re set!
This is my first visit to your site–very fun!

I will have to try these! I make Diner Meatloaf Muffins-little meatloafs made in muffin tins. Saves cooking time and freezes well. I do tweak the recipe and don't use saltine crackers but italian bread crumbs. I think any meatloaf recipe would work in muffin tins. Instant "comfort" food for dinner!

I’ll have to try this when my Eggo’s run out. I got boxes of Eggo’s for 39 cents a month or two ago, so I practically bought out the store.

Nice! Your muffins look great! Glad your family liked them. Can’t wait to hear about your new waffle maker.
