In many families, morning is a hectic and hurried time. Frequently parents feel fortunate just to get everyone out the door fully dressed each day. Serve a hot cooked breakfast every morning? Not a chance. Breakfast (if it’s served at all) often consists of grabbing a toaster pastry and a quick glass of juice as the family runs out the door racing headlong to work and school.
I’ve discovered that taking an hour or two on an occasional weekend to prepare breakfast items for the freezer, takes much of the insanity out of the weekday morning rush. (more…)

Over the past few years people in our home have developed various food allergies, and have required special diets for things like Celiac, etc. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any more complicated food-wise, my son and I both developed an inability to digest meats (beef for me, anything flesh-related for him). Crazy.
So now in order to make a meal to feed all four of us at the same time, it needs to meet the following criteria:
- Gluten-free (essentially only rice noodles and rice bread)
- Sugar-free (no honey or fructose, either)
- Aspartame-free (no Nutrasweet)
- Vegetarian (or at least beef-free, but then my son needs something else to eat)
- Peanut-free
- Mushroom-free (including mushroom soup)
- Carrot-free
- Apple-free
- Light on the eggs (can be an ingredient, but not the main thing such as in omelettes or scrambled eggs)
- Mint-free (not usually much of an issue except with teas and desserts)
- Green tea – free
I think that’s all. LOL! 
I’ve decided to try to figure out a list of menus I can prepare that we can all eat so I’m not preparing separate meals for our various special diets. Sadly, doing bulk freezer meal cooking has sort of fallen by the wayside as one after another of our regular recipes have bit-the-dust.
So, any suggestions for cheap eats that meet the above requirements? And of course freezer-friendly recipes and ideas would be ideal!
