Cooking on a Budget: OAMC, Make Ahead, Freezing & More | Forum profile

I always keep nuts in the freezer - right now, I think I've got pecans, walnuts and pine nuts in there. I don't know how long they're supposed to keep, but I'm pretty sure the walnuts, at least, have been there for at least a year - I usually buy a big bag for Christmas baklava, and I bought extra last year, then I didn't make any this year. And they're still fine. Once the ...

We use very little pesto, but I do make a double batch or two at the end of the summer and freeze it in ice cube trays. It seems to keep just fine through the winter - it gets a little dark on the top of the cubes, but I don't use as much oil as maybe I should.

Can you do my shopping for me?

Buy an inexpensive insulated lunch bag and some blue ice. You freeze the blue ice, put it in the bag with the food, and it stays cold for hours. In the cold weather, you might want to give him a thermos of hot soup. I also understand you can do a hot dog in a thermos some way, too. Maybe someone else knows how?

I was pleased to find this one during the Zaar World Tour. You can either freeze the chicken in the marinade, or pour the marinade into the bag when the chicken is thawing. You can also cook the chicken on the grill, in the oven or in a pan on the stove. Easy Grilled Lime Chicken- W/ OAMC Directions Too!

Just this week I had three budget meals in my meal plan that got there because they are all time favorites and the budget cost is a added benefit. We had salmon patties and macaroni and cheese one night, pinto beans and ham another night and chicken and dumplings another. Oh, and all day today we have had leftovers so today was a "freebie."

Do you remember anything else that was in it that might narrow down the ingredients list?

We did a leg of lamb last weekend, and I used the leftovers for a shepherd's pie, which was quite nice. I used the leftover meat, gravy, and some of the last of the Swiss chard from the garden (that I had to dig out from under the snow!) and, of course, lots of mashed potatoes on top. Not spicy, no, but the ultimate in comfort food, and great for using up some leftovers! Also, I've ...
