My New Years slumber
Who will be staying up to ring in the new year? Usually the only way my lids would stay open is if I propped them up on a pair of toothpicks. However, this year I will have to try. Especially after Hubby's "Your sometimes boring" comment.
Ha! I'll show him!!

Freezer meals
A lot of you have wondered how I keep my grocery bill so low. So I decided to share some of my favorite freezer meals with you. Here are two that freeze well and are cheep and easy to make. I have doubled this recipe for you to make 12-14 servings. Both of these meals can be seperated into freezer bags or containers.

Place all these ingredients in a large crock pot for 6-8 hours on low.

2 garlic cloves- minced
1 stick of butter
3-4 cups of fresh mushrooms
2 can cream-styled corn
4 cans condensed tomato soup (Walmart's brand is the cheepest)
TO RE-HEAT:
Place mostly thawed or thawed sauce into a sauce pan and heat through. Serve over pasta of your choice.
