I organized our basement freezer not long ago. I had no idea there were still so many strawberries and raspberries from last year. I couldn't even remember buying the two huge (5+ lbs. each) packages of ground beef. Good grief.
Today I finished processing these two things. I made a dozen packs of pre-cooked and seasoned taco meat. I made 100 meatballs. I made freezer jam to last for a while. Now, my freezer is full of go to stuff for meals, all homemade!
The freezer jam and taco meat is pretty obvious, but if you're curious about the meatball recipe:
I adapted The Pioneer Woman's meatball recipe. Basically, I just cooked them in the oven for 30 minutes at 350* instead of in the sauce. It is a bit time consuming to brown them all in the pan first, but it is WORTH it.

I can't wait for you to give me some jam!
Your amazing
I just went to the pioneer woman site and printed off a bunch of recipes. Thanks for the idea! I am curious who you guys picked to do your basement.
Wow, wonder woman!!!
Whenever I have a cooking extravaganza day, my back is killing me by the end of it. Make sure you take some time today to put your feet up.
Wow, way to go you! Do want to come to my house and organize my freezer now?? There is not telling what is hiding in the depths of my chest freezer...
That is awesome! You must be feeling much better to get all that accomplished. You are one amazing momma!
