Chewy Granola Bars, Pesto Sandwiches and Peanut Butter Wraps

My youngest is starting 1st grade and will be taking a school lunch with her every day to school.  She is an extreme introvert so I know by lunch time she will be exhausted and ready to come home.  I’m hoping school lunch will be like a giant hug from me to keep her going for a few more hours at school.  Any ideas you have to offer would be much appreciated.

Skillet Nachos and Coconut Chocolate-Chip Cookies.


Tonight was one of those nights that by 5:30pm, I was too tired to walk, fold the clean laundry or make dinner.  Luckily, my freezer was stocked with a bag of cooked shredded pork and a log of coconut chip cookie dough.


Making Your Own Frozen Pizza

Our favorite meal of all time is pizza!  It takes time to make  pizza from scratch, so why not make 4-5 pizzas at once, bake one for dinner and place the other four in your freezer to serve later?  My hero Crystal Godfrey, with Everydayfoodstorage.net and I got together a few months ago to make a video on how to make  frozen pizza.  What a privilege it was to be with her for a few hours in her kitchen!
