It's so satisfying to save time, fuel, money, and the brainpower of trying to plan more meals on more days!<br />I've been following your blog for so long, sometimes I forget that you don't live just down the road, Dani.

I need to start planning some make-ahead meals, with a new baby, I just can't keep up with all the madness these days!<br /><br />Anyhoo, I found your blog on a Sustainable Blogger Link Up page, and I just thought I would stop by and say hi!

I need to do more bulk cooking and freezing so that I can just pull things out of the freezer. <br /><br />I would love to try ostrich mince.<br /><br />Homemade pizza is a favorite here. I used to make it a lot for Sunday supper.<br /><br />Your post has inspired me.

That's not because we're Catholic (we're not), but because fish is such an easy meal and Friday is such a convenient day to have it on - I can bring back fresh fish from the store when we go for our weekly shop.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-38697051685206976332015-05-12T12:34:05.232+02:002015-05-12T12:34:05.232+02:00Dawn - Lucky you to have a husband who'll eat ...Dawn - Lucky you to have a husband who'll eat "leftovers" as they are :)<br /><br />I'm constantly asking RMan; "what would you like for dinner tonight?"

We all KNOW what can be made with ingredients, but it's having to think up different meals with the same item (mince) to keep it "fresh" and "new" that stumps me.<br /><br />Cous cous would work.
