~Hearty Minestrone~

On a chilly day a bowl of hearty hot soup is always enjoyed at dinner. Hearty Minestrone is a great choice. It is filled with colorful nutritious vegetables, too. Spinach, kidney beans, green beans and carrot slices are some of the veggies that can be found in each yummy spoonful.

Click here for my easy recipe for Hearty Minestrone. 

When I prepare a pot of this soup there are always extra portions left after dinner. Those extra portions are placed in single serve plastic freezer containers. After labeling/ dating they will find a place in our freezer. They will make easy dinners on other nights.

Do you make soup and freeze the extra portions? They do come in handy!

Enjoy!
Yummy!

Cornbread

Cornbread
cooling

It has been on my "to do" list! Not just for the past 2 days, but for the past 5 days. Baking a Cornbread! I could almost taste it whenever I looked at my recipe here on my blog. Yum! A piece cut in half, heated up in the microwave for a few seconds and then a small amount of butter/ margarine on top makes a delicious breakfast. 

This is definitely a favorite breakfast! Not just for the next day, either. After it cools I cut the Cornbread into individual servings and place each in a sandwich bag. Then, I place the individual servings in a larger freezer bag. 

Cornbread freezes very well! For a quick breakfast, take the needed portions out of the freezer and heat in the microwave. 

This is easy to prepare. For my Cornbread recipe, click here.

Enjoy!
Yummy!

Sour Cream Sugar Cookies!

Add Sour Cream to your grocery list if you do not have it in your fridge! It is one of the ingredients in Sour Cream Sugar Cookies! Nutmeg is too! These Sugar Cookies are prepared in a 2 step process. On Day 1 the dough is prepared and placed in the fridge to use the next day. On Day 2 find your rolling pin, rolling mat, favorite cookie cutters and colored sugars. Day 2 is the day to have fun rolling out, baking and yes sampling these yummy light cookies. They are so good!!

After the cookies are baked/ cooled they can be packaged and placed in your freezer. Defrost the needed amount to share for the upcoming holiday. Your family and guests will enjoy biting into this cookie and taste the hint of Nutmeg. These are the best sugar cookies!!

*****I use Unsalted Butter and Fat Free Sour Cream when preparing the dough. If Margarine is used the dough is sticky and difficult to roll out.  

Click here for my recipe for Sour Cream Sugar Cookies. Delicious!! 

Enjoy!

Turkey a la King!

On the day after or two days after enjoying a delicious Thanksgiving Day Dinner, Turkey a la King is on the menu! Chunks of roasted Turkey surrounded by veggies in a creamy sauce that are served over toasted bread. So good!! Did I mention so easy?? 

There is no need to roll out a pie crust to prep a Turkey Pot Pie nor purchase a commercial crust to use. Toasted bread works so well.

Turkey a la King will be on our dinner table tonight. This is when my foodie blog comes in very handy for me. I pull up my recipe to use.
