It’s official – I don’t have any prepared food in my freezer as of right now. How did this happen? Well, it would appear that we ate all I had prepared, which is, after all, what freezer food is for. This week, I’m hoping to find a little extra time to make a few items to freeze for upcoming busy days. Here’s what I’m thinking of making:
- Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole and Cheesy Beef and Pasta Casserole from the {Healthy} Make-Ahead Meals and Snacks eBook
- Instant Oatmeal Packets (not for the freezer, but to get ahead nonetheless)
- A variety of frozen muffin batter (can you believe I actually ran out!?!??!)
On another note, have you tried this Ranch Cheese Ball yet? It’s such an easy recipe, and a great snack to share at a holiday get-together. I’ll be making it at the end of the week!
