Today was a COOKING DAY - well, it turned out to be one, anyways.
For supper we had French Onion Soup, which the children HATED. But the adults LOVED. So we'll make it again, but give them chicken nuggets.
Here's what was accomplished today:
sliced 16 pounds of onions in my food processor - half directly for the freezer. Used the other half to make soup (makes 20 servings, so most of that was frozen too!
More Bread!
More Pizza Dough!
Net freezer gain: replaced the loaf of bread I took out yesterday. 4 ready-to-go pizza doughs. 16 servings (about) of French Onion Soup.
Also made another loaf of bread as "finger rolls", dipped in honey butter & baked.

The soup recipe was from one of the most useful cookbooks ever, if you buy in quantities at warehouse clubs:
Fix Freeze Feast . Love many of the recipes (especially the lasagna!) but the best part is that it teaches you how to THINK about recipes to freeze - I now know that I can get the big pork loin and slice it into roasts, chops, and stir fry quickly and easily - and freeze the roasts in the marinade.
