May 28, 2010 by Kristin Leave a Comment

Want to see my grocery list for this round of freezer cooking?

4 cups minced celery
Green onions
5 onions
12 oz. fresh mushrooms

46 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 lbs mahi mahi
8 lbs. ground beef
3 lbs. flank steak

2 cans cream of mushroom soup
3 cans cream of celery soup
3 large cans petite diced tomatoes
2 large cans tomato sauce
2 8 oz. can tomato sauce

24 corn tortillas
16 oz. can green chiles
4 cups evaporated milk
4 teaspoons minced onion
Minced garlic
Ginger
Jar of roasted red peppers
2 cups blanched and slivered almonds
4 cups crunchy Chinese chow mein noodles
Sesame oil
Worcestershire
Soy sauce
Balsamic vinegar
Sherry cooking wine
Seasoned croutons
Honey
1 can pineapple slices

2 boxes manicotti noodles

2 6 oz. cans orange juice concentrate
2 1 lb. loaf frozen white bread dough
1 bag frozen spinach
2 bags southern style hashbrowns

2 cups grated Parmesan
1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar
2 8oz. bags shredded cheddar
2 cups shredded Parmesan
2 16 oz. bags shredded mozzarella
8 cups Monterey jack cheese
6 oz. bleu cheese
6 oz. low fat cream cheese
2 large cartons small curd cottage cheese
5 cups sour cream
4 8 oz. cans crescent rolls
Margarine
Eggs

All that, plus some things from our cabinets, plus some ingredients left over from our last freezer cooking session, were combined and divided to make …

Chicken Lelani
Ginger Glazed Mahi-Mahi
Savory Chicken Bundles
Manicotti
Cheesy Breadsticks
Orange Teriyaki Chicken
Maui Grilled Chicken Sandwiches
Parmesan Garlic Chicken
Asian Flank Steak
Hashbrown Casserole
Elliot’s Gourmet Burgers
Beef Enchiladas

We cooked and prepared food from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., minus some breaks, of course, to tend to our four combined children (who are 5 years old, 3 years old, almost 3 years old and 6 months old). Despite the few toy wars that come with preschooler territory, the three older kids played so well together.

And I love my new freezer, for the record.

    I so have to get a freezer and those books…maybe if I did that I wouldn;t be so frazzled at the end of the day…although my weekly meal planning does help in that area too. I'll have to try recipes Im pretty sure my picky kids will eat first 😉 MindyE

About Me

Telling stories is my therapy and I love sharing them with friends on my porch.

The main characters in my stories are my entrepreneur husband, our high school girl who never forgets, our middle school boy who has no fear, and our joy-filled first-grade girl. As we live out our stories, we seek God as the author of them all.

@racershoops camp was so fun for Rachel and a few @racershoops camp was so fun for Rachel and a few of her friends! Despite all the basketball she has consumed as a spectator, I didn’t know how Rachel was going to feel about playing basketball. 

Spoiler: She enjoyed it, learned to grab rebounds, scored on the 10-foot goal, and turned extra cartwheels to celebrate. 

Big brother gets his turn next week. We love our Racers and are grateful to have these opportunities.

I love summer. But my summer has started off busy: appointments, book edits deadline, establish new habits with the kids at home. All that’s necessary and good, it just cuts into my down time beside the pool. 

Today we have two open gyms for our basketball players, my book study with a few friends, a new weekly high school girls’ book study at our house, and a monthly dad-son character study. 

I long for a little more white space on the calendar, but I also wouldn’t change a thing because the kids are only 16, 13, and 7 once. This summer will only be this summer once. And I’ve already learned time flies with big kids. 

So here we are finding out footing, singing praises with church friends on our porch, grilling delicious chicken, and squeezing in the wide-open spaces when we can. This is evidence of the good stuff.

First of all, who else has read this book? The plo First of all, who else has read this book? The plot was promising as a thriller and the setting really worked. There were some good twists, and then there were ridiculous twists. I skimmed the end only because I wanted it to make sense. And it didn’t. It was too weird for me. 

But this made me wonder: how do we know if a book is going to be weird, contain elements we don’t like, or go places that don’t make sense? I don’t like to read much about a book before I read the book. Usually, I do a better job of picking books for myself.

On Mothers Day, I wanted to sit by the pool with a On Mothers Day, I wanted to sit by the pool with a book, but I didn’t know what I wanted to read. Whenever I have indecision about books, picking up a thriller usually helps because of the story’s pace. 

“The Only Survivors” worked well because there was a lot happening! Lots of creepy, mysterious moments. Only so many people could be guilty of infiltrating a small group who had lots of secrets! 

I loved the timeline of this one. The back story about an accident was told in seven one-hour segments. The present mystery was told in seven days.

Y’all we are very ready for summer. ☀️ And Y’all we are very ready for summer. ☀️ 

And when I say summer, I mean we are ready to shake up the routine, mentally regroup, turn off the alarms, establish some new habits, soak in the sun, and catch up with friends we’ve been crossing paths with too quickly. 

I want to savor the #84daysofsummer and I want to embrace this new season. And it’s almost time. Three more days of school. (Deep breaths.) 

Meanwhile, I’m going to keep collecting the moments — the hard, hurried, happy, and heartfelt. The seasons do change, but this is the life we are living. 

“The moments you collect may not be loud or flashy. They might be quiet or covered or a far-off view you were lucky to catch. But this I know to be true: A moment savored says to your soul, ‘You have lived something beautiful.’ And it keeps you buoyed. It sustains you when you’re running empty. It lifts you up and carries you forward.” — Joanna Gaines in @magnolia summer 2023 journal issue no. 27
