And homemade mixed with some easy frozen things is just fine with me as both still save you money and stress overall. Plus sometimes too we can see amazing frozen specials and we shouldnt over look them! <br />You have paid me the highest compliment. I listened to Elisabeth Ellitot tapes years ago when the girls were small and she was such a help to me, I just loved her! Thankx you so much.xxxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-60254141693342792482015-02-06T05:09:53.143-08:002015-02-06T05:09:53.143-08:00A few years ago, the money was very tight. It just...A few years ago, the money was very tight. It just wasn't an option for us to "just go out to dinner" because of lack of time or lack of energy. I decided that I had to get a handle on this issue, so I made a list of things I could make in less than 30 minutes. I still have the list, and refer to it, when I need a quick meal. <br /><br />I also made up large batches of spaghetti sauce for "those nights."I always keep spaghetti sauce and fishsticks in the freezer. Some people might be opposed to fishsticks, but it is better for us than going out to eat (and that was our other option.) <br /><br />I want to say that this is the most I have enjoyed any site since I found the transcribed radio broadcasts Mrs. Elisabeth Elliot had from her radio shows.

I...Just lovely, it all looks so very yummy Annabel! I love the autumn and winter for all the lovely food we get to enjoy over the season. I love using up the leftovers like you do, "refashioning" my food if you will. lol. My married DD told me she just threw out some sour cream!! It would be put in a snap lock (if not used up already!) here and put into the freezer so I could add it to a stroganoff or butter chicken to "finish" the dish. I do the same with leftover tomato paste or even a gravy or sauce from a casserole. I love making surprise additions to our meals. It is a great feeling to use everything up isn't it? Waste not, want not!KayeBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02893434891123813140noreply@blogger.com
