I sometimes freeze my leftovers. I also make other uncooked meals to freeze if I have a large quantity meat thawed. For instance, meatloaf, hamburger patties, but we are having chili for dinner. The joke around our house is me having a freezer full of meals. When I thought I was going to run out of Halloween candy this year my oldest told me to give the children frozen meals with directions. Really enjoy your blog. Have a blessed day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204167991730478291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-69146245345702331172016-01-04T16:06:28.884-08:002016-01-04T16:06:28.884-08:00Hi Carol Sue!!

And I too am learning to cook for fewer each year. Our middle daughter is hardly every home ad the dinner hour anymore.
