Plea for Recipes for Freezer Meals and Mixes Made Ahead!
So there was a great sale on ground beef at our local supermarket last week. The deal was too good to pass up. So I purchased the max amount of 10lbs. With all this wonderful food in tubes, I divided the first 5 lbs. into smaller increments and placed in the freezer. Then I made some meatballs, a meatloaf and browned the rest. I felt awesome for accomplishing this which Im sure most of you amazing ladies already do all the time.?!
So then I pre-made up batches of biscuit mix and cornbread mix and dawili's awesome pancake mix. I was so happy to have some quick things in my back pocket. As I was standing there glowing in my accomplishments, covered in flour and goo...I began to ponder what else I could make and have ready to go in a moments notice. So I thought...I need to put a plea out to all women and their favorite recipes for freezing and for making into mixes ahead of time!
So here is my plea...please share one or two recipes that are family favorites and are great for making ahead!

3/4 cup brown sugar
30 oz baked beans
1 cup kidney beans
1 cup lima beans

glances when they spot them in the dinner)
