FREEZER frenzy!

Thanks to my friend Stephanie, lunchtime pasta requests are made easier!

I always seem to have leftover pasta from dinner. It usually sits inside the fridge until it goes bad.
Now I place my leftovers in a muffin tin and place it in the freezer. Once frozen I take it out and place it on the counter for about 10+ minutes (just enough to thaw a little).

I turn it upside down and slap the bottom of the tin and TA DA!

Almost instant pasta for my little ones lunch!

REHEAT
THROW SAUCE ON IT
& SERVE!

This has actually inspired me to plan breakfast meals for each day of the month. So I'll only repeat those meals once every month (excluding weekends).

I came up with this idea as I saw one of my neighbors make a large batch of pancakes and freeze the remaining items for later!

Since I was fortunate to take these ideas home & better my meals I'll share the Monday-Friday breakfast meals that will be whipped up or reheated in our household! (subject to change as I find awesome breakfast additions)
** Note: only certain items will be frozen :)

Bon Apetit!

Eggs & Bacon
Swedish Rice
Pancakes
Toast & Fruit
Bagel & Smoothie
Scones
Oatmeal
Waffles (or as call them, "Wamples") with homemade syrup

Raspberry Turnovers
Omelet

Quiche
Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Bagel
Muffins
Eggs and hash browns
Cinnamon Rolls

  1. Super great idea!!! You really put me to shame here. Why can't cereal be enough?

  2. No, No, No, you crack me up! Give me a month or two and we'll see if I'm still as vigilant.

    P.S. We have cereal every Saturday! :)
