I don’t know about you, but I have a preference when it comes to chocolate chip cookies—I want them to be chewy. Most cookies are chewy right when they come out of the oven, but then they become crispy once they cool. This chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe, though, is chewy the whole time, both […]
Freezer cooking fans! I’ve been working on some new recipes that will help you save some time in the kitchen. I’ve broken this post up into three different meal categories: slow cooker sauces, freezer to slow cooker meals, and freezer to oven meals. All of these freezer cooking recipes come with the guarantee that they […]
I’m on a mission to stock my freezer, by thinking outside the box and doing some less traditional freezer options. One thing I wanted to try was frozen pizzas. I knew I could make more delicious pizza than store bought. We love homemade pizza night, and regularly make our own dough for it, but of […]
What kid doesn’t love chicken nuggets? Mine aren’t picky at all and will eat pretty much whatever kind I find on sale at the store. There’s not much easier than popping a pan of dino nuggets in the oven. It’s actually not that tricky to make your own chicken nuggets and they are much higher […]

Looking for a classic meatloaf for a yummy dinner? I love this meatloaf recipe because it’s simple and makes TWO meatloaves that you can stick in the freezer. It comes together so easily, and the payoff is completely worth it. The last time we had this, a few kids weren’t super excited, so I pulled […]
I’m all about working smarter, not harder. And making this freezer lasagna is one of those things that’s just as easy to double as it is to make one. If you make two at a time, then you can either put them both in the freezer or eat one for dinner tonight and save the […]
Having extra freezer space can be helpful for stocking up on sales, but it’s also great to have the room so you can do freezer cooking. I was first introduced to this concept when my twins were babies over a decade ago. A store moved into the area where you could pay $15-$20 a meal […]
This spring and summer I’m working on stocking my freezer, but not in the way that you might be thinking of when you think about freezer cooking. Instead of making a bunch of casseroles and putting them in the freezer, I’m mostly freezing components of meals to make the dinner time hour easier. (But I […]
