2 Week Notice

Well, I gave my work 2 week notice when I left Sunday morning. Hubby got offered a QA position at his work, working the same hours I do. Bummer, ha ha. We are only at 80% of our saving goal, but I'm sure we will be fine. I'm so excited to just be a mom, wife and homeschooling. Violet says that maybe I won't be so grumpy now. That would be funny if it wasn't so true. By the time I get done with cooking, cleaning and other chores, I don't have the energy or desire to be mom. Thank You God for making this happen.....

Busy filling my freezer

Posted in Menus, Recipes, etc...

Been kind of busy the last two days after work filling my freezer. I'm trying to save money on our food budget, which seems to get forgotten when I'm tired. So far I have:

cooked and deboned 10 lbs of chicken hind quarters (on sale for $.49/lb.)
cut up and froze 10 lbs. of chicken hind quarters
cooked and froze rice
cooked and froze kidney beans
made and froze 6 meals using the deboned chicken
shredded and divided 26 cups of zuchinni into 2 cup packages
made double batch of granola
made double batch of Whole Wheat Healthy Muffins
made double batch of Applesause Muffins
shredded and froze carrots

I still need to:

make a chicken soup out of broth
blanch and freeze 10 lbs. of green beans

Next week I'm planning on doing some stuff with ground beef.
