A Day for Baking- for the Freezer

When I woke up the other day it was cloudy and cooler than it had been in weeks, so…  I decided it was the perfect day for baking.   I absolutely love to bake but recently have not had the opportunity or if the opportunity was there, I had no desire to heat the house up by turning on the oven.    That’s why this nice cool day was the perfect motivation.

When my children were small I definitely had more time than money.  I became very good at budgeting and meal planning.   Now, most of my children are grown and I find myself answering many questions from them on this subject.   Oh, they remember what was IN the freezer, but they weren’t always sure how it got there!  J

I have found it to be very helpful to have baked goods in the freezer.   A frozen cookie has a “fresh baked” taste after five or ten seconds in the microwave.   I also like to have frozen homemade cookie dough in the freezer, for the times, I want fresh baked but not the hassle of making the dough.    I freeze brownies, banana bread, muffins, biscuits and much, much more.   The trick is to keep your freezer full because store  bought snacks are a huge budget buster!

    In the next few post I am going to highlight that day.    I hope you enjoy the posts.
