Feed Your Freezer!
Have you ever wanted to have food on hand that you only have to reheat? What about snacks - nutritious snacks that are simple to pull out a serving ready to "heat n eat"?
I love Feed the Freezer ideas, so as I come across great ideas and recipes I will post them. I love to be able to make up a large batch of items and stick them in the freezer for later. Then if I want a little something, I just pull one out of the container and reheat it. Simple, easy, not a lot of prep and cleanup.
If you come across some great recipes or ideas, let me know. I'll share them and your link.
Well, I can't have a post about it without a recipe now can I? So here is another one, from Jane's blog that I have edited to make it a Feed the Freezer item:
Not-So-Sloppy Joes
What you need:
1 large or 2 small cans grands biscuits
1 lb ground beef
2 cans sloppy joe/manwich mix - or ketchup, mustard, and seasonings
cheese (sliced or shredded)
Open your biscuits and place on a cookie sheet. Center a 2 inch diameter cup and press down onto the biscuits to cause an indention.
If using ground beef and seasonings - Cook ground beef and onion. Drain any grease and add ketchup, mustard, and seasonings to your liking or add the sloppy jo/manwich mix and drop 1/3 cup of meat mixture into wells in biscuits.
Bake at 375ยบ for 12-17 minutes, until biscuits are golden.
Allow to cool, then place on a cookie sheet so that the sides are not touching. Place in the freezer until frozen (approx 3 hours). Remove from freezer and place in freezer bag or plastic freezer container. Place cheese in freezer with the container.
When you are ready to use, simply remove as many or as few as you would like, place on a cookie sheet, bake in the oven at 350 until warm throughout. Sprinkle with shredded cheese(or place sliced cheese on top) and place back into the warm oven until cheese melts.
These are a great afternoon snack!
To make in bulk - just multiply the recipe to suit your needs.

Clutter = Wasting Money
I recently visited another blog that wrote about a Happy Home. Many things help to make a Happy Home - one of which is getting rid of Clutter! But did you know that getting rid of Clutter can save you money?
It really can! Think about it . . .
Less Clutter means less Stress - less Stress means less sickness - which means less visits to the doctor and less medication.
Did you know that Clutter can cause depression? If your home has a lot of Clutter, and you feel as though you can't keep up with the cleaning, organizing, purging, etc it can make you feel down in the dumps. If this goes on for a longer period of time, it can lead to mild depression, sometimes even leading to severe depression. *note, I am not a doctor, not have I done a lot of research on this, however, I am speaking from experience*
When our homes are clean, our spirit feels clean, too.
Why do I mention this on a Thrifty blog? Well, I have been decluttering and purging and it amazes me to see where my money was lost. For example, wrapping paper. I have bought wrapping paper on clearance and packed it into a box to save money for future use. But with the clutter in my storage closet, I could never find that box when I needed it - Yes, it was labeled - I just couldn't find it. So I would stop by the store on my way to wherever and BUY wrapping paper!! A waste of money!! I KNEW I had it at home, but I couldn't FIND it! So I put money out for something I already had.
Another example, dust! Dusting is a necessity I have discovered. Why? Well, off the top of your head you would probably think allergies . . . and you would be right! But how about damage? hmmmm . . . think about it. If you don't dust regularly, dust can build up on surfaces and stain. Think of curtains (which is where I started thinking after I read that post). Dust makes them look dingy, but wash them and they are beautiful. However, let the dust stay on certain fabrics for too long and mix with sunshine and viola! stains + fading. Now you have to buy new curtains. All I had to do was wash the curtains on a regular basis!
There is more to this, but I will have to save that for another rainy day!
