Are you having fun filling your freezer? I’m enjoying mine fill up with ready to bake food and today I have another one for you!

I used my pizza dough recipe to make some homemade pigs and in a blanket. Let the dough rise, them roll out and cut into strips.

I used a package of smoked sausage instead of hot dogs here, but feel free to use what you have/what is on sale.

Wrap the dough strips around, and place seam side down on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

Place into the freezer for an hour to flash freeze and then place into a labeled gallon freezer bag (or freezer friendly container).

If baking right away I like to brush with a little oil (or an egg) to get a golden brown crust and a little sprinkle of garlic salt. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes or golden brown.

Happy Freezer Cooking!

My intentions were high for the weekend; I had planned on being in the kitchen most of the day on Saturday to work on Fill Your Freezer February (new? Read the intro here).

Unfortunately we had a death in the family and I was not in the mood to dance around the kitchen cooking.

I did manage two things to add to the freezer while doing my normal cooking:

Another day, another soup for Fill Your freezer February series!
I was inspired by the Toscano Soup we enjoy, but used up other vegetables we had in the fridge – carrots and a daikon radish (which has a potato type texture when cooked).

We had a soup and sandwich lunch and put the rest to the freezer!

I’ll be back on Monday to share what I was able to tuck away in the freezer over the weekend. What is your favorite freezer friendly soup?

Today I made Pulled Pork to fill my freezer!

It takes a few minutes to prep, but then it cooks slow and low in the oven and ends up being perfect tender and multiple ways to use it!

Of course I doubled it! One for dinner and one to freezer. Doing things this way while trying to fill your freezer is a big time saver and sanity saver since there isn’t “extra” work – in the sense of having to set aside specific ingredients or extra time throughout our busy days.

I’m glad to announce today was definitely better than yesterday! I was able to “catch up” on my own Fill Your Freezer February Challenge! The french toast bake (some call it a casserole) was delicious and I was able to get one pan into the freezer. I used this recipe.
