Ice cream is one of RancherMan’s favorite desserts. And it really hits the spot on a hot summer’s day.
But you can’t just eat ice cream every day. It’s not healthy! So I’ve been serving him a healthier frozen ice-cream-type treat. Only it’s made with frozen bananas instead of cream!

“COOK ONCE EAT TWICE” method of cooking means homemade meals are a snap to enjoy now & freeze some for later, and less cleanup too!
The idea is simple – cook LOTS of a specific main entrée and enjoy it at mealtime that day. Then portion out & freeze the rest for quick meals later.
It’s been a game-changer for me.

Most people know that chickens slow down their egg production in the winter months. So I’m trying to preserve the more-than-we-can-use quantity of eggs I’m blessed with now for those leaner times.
I’ve written before about preserving the eggs from our pastured flock by making a large batch of breakfast burritos and freezing them. They make a quick grab-n-eat meal before church so your stomach isn’t rumbling so loudly the sermon can’t be heard!
But you can only eat so many breakfast burritos. So I began looking for other ways to preserve those precious eggs so that none would go to waste.

We keep a small flock of hens her on the Homestead. Not only do they provide free pest control (and they LOVE their jobs!) but also plenty of fresh eggs. When they provide more than we can eat I make my own convenience food: Freezer Breakfast Burritos.

I like to make a healthier ‘ice cream’ substitute using frozen bananas, instant no-cook pudding, a little milk and a splash of vanilla.
No, REALLY! You’re not gonna believe how easy this is…

Stuffed Peppers are a favorite in our dinner repertoire. I love bell peppers and usually plant several bell pepper plants in my garden.
One of my favorite meals using bell peppers is making stuffed peppers.
