A woman's place is in the kitchen

Not REALLY, of course, but I do love to spend time there when I choose to. As promised, I've spent part of my week adding to our freezer. It felt really good to get in the kitchen and chop and stir and mix - it had been a LONG time since I had done anything more in the kitchen than hit start on the microwave.

In case your freezer is empty, you may want to check these out! Martha's Everyday Food magazine has a special "Freezer" recipe each month, where these came from. I haven't tried any of them before, but they sure looked and smelled good!

Turkey Burgers

Sausage and Bean Casserole x2

Lasagna Primavera

Spinach Pie (with whole wheat phyllo dough - who knew?)

Also, do yourselves a favor ... go to the Smitten Kitchen blog on the right side of our blog and find her recent post on Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I may or may not have eaten most of the 2 dozen Oatmeal Chocolate Chip version I made. Yum.
