Have you ever done any freezer cooking? I had to share this with you because it’s a great tool for saving time…and money! Last week, I realized that I was spending far too much time in the kitchen cooking meals each night, and so I was looking for a way to cut down on my kitchen time so that I can devote my time to other things, like writing fascinating blog articles, digging in the dirt in my patio garden or playing with my dog! Now, if you have been following this blog for a while, you know that I…

As we move along into the warmer months, I really like to use slow cooker meals. Frankly, I don’t want to heat up my kitchen turning on my oven!

You really won’t be able to tell much of a difference. And thus, the slow cooker broccoli beef recipe was born! This recipe is also gluten-free and can be…

This potato ham chowder is a great, simple slow cooker dish that you can prepare any day, but it also works well as a freezer meal. As a matter of fact, that is how I first used it. This chowder is very hearty and will definitely fill you up, but it is also full of flavor. Prep for this recipe is really fast, which is a plus in my book! As a freezer meal, you will need to blanch the potatoes for at least 5 minutes, or they have a tendency to turn black in the freezer….and black potatoes are…
