I rarely play the part Suzy Homemaker but this weekend, I have simply been in the mood.
Yesterday, I made a double batch of IHOP style pancakes and while cooking them, I did most of the dishes (we had lots of dishes--mostly those giant things that don't fit in the sink and camping stuff). We ate our fill and the rest went into the freezer to be dropped in the toaster when we "need" more. (Great for PB&J sandwiches too!)
I then made a pot of slime (split pea soup) and got a pot ready for chicken/turkey and rice soup to drop on the stove when we leave for church this morning.
And, this morning, I got up and put together 2 loaves of pumpin bread. They are baking right now.
Anybody want a slice?
(Oh hey--for a handy suggestion--when you make a pot of soup like the above two--take the left overs and put them in a freezer baggie and lay it down flat to freeze. When done, you can stack the baggies like books on a shelf for those days when the drive through seems really really appealing! If it is a small baggie, you can lay it in the dash in the daytime to be hot and ready to eat by lunch time. Mmmmmmmm......)
Any of y'all got any suggestions for making it easier for the working and over busy person? (Had a job interview on sat and I think they liked me mucho--but 2 full time jobs and homeschooling is going to leave me strapped for time--I DON'T want to waste all my 2nd job money on eating out. Give me your ideas!)
