January 2011 Freezer Cooking

Time once again for January 2011 Freezer Cooking Days, hosted by FishMama at Life as MOM.

This month, I'm participating in the Clean Out the Cupboards Challenge. (Please join us!)  So why, you ask, would I be adding to my cupboards?

You see, I'm already starting to run out of certain convenience items.  But instead of running to the store and buying more, I'm going to use my creativity to make these items myself!  The ingredients will come from my pantry (as much as possible) and will return to the pantry/freezer in a different form, ready to be eaten during the rest of the challenge.

So here's what I'm making this weekend:

• Dry kidney beans cooked in the crockpot
• Dry black beans cooked in the crockpot
• Chicken broth (some made into chicken broth ice cubes)
• Refrigerator salsa
• Instant oatmeal packets
• Freezer cookie dough

That's the list for now (I don't want to commit to making too much), but if I find more time, I might add a few more items.  

Please follow me on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook to follow my progress throughout the weekend!
