I use this blog as my "online recipe box"--just exactly like the brown plastic recipe box I used for years. This online version is great when I'm grocery shopping. Easy to check ingredients while I'm in the store. Hope you'll stop by again.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827592135612785434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728171562265557074.post-6165534997093104772017-04-14T18:52:47.672-04:002017-04-14T18:52:47.672-04:00I have found your blog from the Curious Handmad po...I have found your blog from the Curious Handmad podcast and I am having a great time reading about your knitting and freezer stash.. great blog.Juliann in WAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15895551530087690102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728171562265557074.post-49404291926166683902017-03-27T11:48:57.362-04:002017-03-27T11:48:57.362-04:00In my house, these do not count as leftovers! When...In my house, these do not count as leftovers! When I freeze it soon after cooking, I don't think it has the taste of food that has been kept in the refrigerator for a couple of days. We eat those leftovers, too, but the freezer meals taste better. I know some who do not love cooked food from the freezer. I think it's all about your expectations. We are all different. But any way you look at it, my own freezer meals are better than bought freezer meals! <br /><br />For the chicken pie, I'll divide that recipe between two square pans. Bake both at the same time, but take one out just before the crust browns. Wrap and freeze. To bake, take it out of the freezer the night before. Bake as usual, adding extra time for the crust to brown and the center to get hot. A casserole should be 165 degrees in the center.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827592135612785434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728171562265557074.post-12739795101614546472017-03-27T11:37:54.366-04:002017-03-27T11:37:54.366-04:00I just did the freezer check a week ago.

I know know some folks won't have anything to do with leftovers. The Chicken Pie recipe looks good. I just roasted a chicken and I just got fresh farm eggs from a colleague. I might have to try the recipe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
