We did that. We cooked several lbs of ground beef in two of our three crock-pots. After it was finished, we put in beans in one and potatoes in the other to cook. It helped season them since they were all going to be mixed together anyway. It was our Mexican staple. :) My husband works with some Mexicans and learned that they use beans and potatoes mixed with beef for their meals. It stretches the meat a lot.

It is very discouraging to put pancakes or even vegetables in the freezer only to have the kids not want to eat them when they are taken out!

Using whole grains and beans really cuts the grocery budget and you have demonstrated how easy it is to prepare them ahead of time so that they are "fast food"! Another important skill to learn is how to eat everything up and constantly keep a look-out in the fridge and pantry so that extra food is not wasted. We have eight children and often have people over but we food waste to be a constant struggle because my husband is an excellent cook (he's worked as a Chef) and we get bored with simple recipes! Throwing leftovers in the freezer can be an easy way to hide waste! We do make excellent soups from leftovers and always have less waste during the cold winter months. Thanks again!

Thank you so much... I had my 4th child in October and started homeschooling my oldest son a month before I delivered my 4th. It has been such a whirlwind and I am constantly tired. My mom kept telling me I need to have a food prep day but I didn't know how to do it. I am so grateful for your blog and that you found me on twitter. God surely answers prayers through his angels and you are one of those angels... thank you!!!! You are my heaven send!!!
