4 am

More like 3 am and a very wet toddler. Sigh. I couldn't go back to sleep so I get up and decided that my day would start at 345 am. Sleep alludes me these day but something wonderful and sad happens today, Priss starts preschool. Also my bible study starts back today. I don't know how I feel about either one. Lots of hurt has come from "church" people over the last year but God hasn't done it so off I'll go. 

Now back to my real reason of being up so early. Biscuits. Something I've made since I could assist my memaw. I've won 4-H ribbons for both my biscuits and my cornbread.  Let me tell you that's no easy task. Biscuits out of a can work in a pinch but the ones hand sifted and rolled out with love taste so much better.  The trick is to not over think it. Just mix and roll. But make sure you measure or you'll be eating rocks. I found my happy place at 4 am in a kitchen on a Tuesday morning. I thought I'd never find it again. Now it's 530 and I'm enjoying my biscuits and a cup of coffee and thinking nothing major. Which is nice when you are a mom. 

Freezer cooking

Finally it's that time of year when we all seem to have no time to cook but want a home cooked meal. For my family I usually try to cook 5 nights a week, one night of leftovers and one night of going out to eat. Well now that miss priss is going to school, I'm going back to work and football has started for the coach who has time to cook. That's why I'm gonna do freezer meals: half for the oven and half for the crockpot. I have seen a few facebook friends pay for a service that gives them a shopping list and they shell out way too much money and spend all day in the kitchen making just a week of meals. Not me! For one I coupon and yes it's worth my time. Second I've got a whole board on Pinterest devoted to things for my freezer. Next week I'll spend a day shopping and making things for the freezer. So I don't know how I will add this in to my crazy schedule but I'm hoping it makes life easier and the coach happy. Normally he gets scared when I say "I found a recipe on Pinterest". 

Here is my board for freezer meals https://www.pinterest.com/flojos/for-my-freezer/ 

Next week I'll update on which recipes I used and any modifications I used.
