Last week I spent a lot of time in the kitchen, trying out some freezer recipes and healthy meals. I have learned a great deal and hope to share it with you in the near future. I still have some freezer recipes to try, then my friend Suzanne and I will have a marathon cooking session to fill up our freezers.
In addition to that, we bought a cow. Well, half a cow. You should have seen the looks on the kids' faces as they tried to figure out why we would buy half a cow. First we had to expl.ain that it wasn't a cow for the back yard. It was for the freezer. And we wouldn't be getting the cow in one big half-piece. Oh, yes, they learned a great deal about field to table, probably more than they wanted to know. But we're so thankful to have found a local supplier of organic, grass-fed beef. I can't wait until the meat is ready for us to pick up.
Now on to this week's menu. More healthy recipes and some for the freezer, too.
