Freezer Cooking Day - The List

I have my tentative plan in place, but with two little ones in tow I'm sure I will be altering as we go.  We are excited to do more baking and freezing and my daughter informed me that she wants the muffins to be cool this time as last Freezer Cooking Day she touched a too hot muffin pan.  Ouch!

For all recipes I substitute as much local and organic produce, meat and dairy as my budget will allow. You can read about my strategies here, here and here.  I buy organic produce and dairy at the grocery store utilizing store sales and coupons.  We always buy organic milk and purchase our meat from a farm in Northeast Ohio.  It's the commitment we've made for our family and we budget for it accordingly.
