Frozen Assets — Mashed Potatoes

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

We love mashed potatoes around our house, and I don’t really care to make them from scratch every time we want them. BUT, I prefer homemade (plus they’re really inexpensive to make). So, once again, I go back to my freezer. I peel, cook, and mash between 5 and 10 lbs of potatoes at a time. Then, I put them in microwave safe freezer containers (Tupperware Rock ‘n Serve). I have mashed potatoes easily available at all times. Yum!! Loaded mashed potatoes also make a really great lunch for Little Song Bird and I. D, on the other hand, needs…

Wednesday’s Wonderings

Tuesday’s Happenings

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Well, my little girl is still sick, so we didn’t get as much done as planned. I did run her over to Pizza Hut to redeem her Book It! certificate at Pizza Hut. (You know, earn free personal pan pizza for reading a certain number of books during the month.) We also picked up a few things from freecycle. 5 HUGE (50 envelopes each) boxes of hot chocolate and a wood/canvas laundry sorter for Michelle’s room. Gotta love freebies! I received my china protectors in the mail today (these are thanks to a gift certificate that I received for Christmas).…
