Cookin'and Freezin'

It's a Beautiful morning here.Birds singing,open windows.Sippin' a cup a....... and cookin'.

DS has to be at work at 5:00 a.m. most mornings, I sure don't want to be up cooking at that time! lol I make homemade biscuits and cook pork chops, country ham, sausage, and bacon and put on biscuits and freeze.He pulls out the bis./meat he wants for breakfast puts cheese on it puts it in the mirco heats, grabs his packed lunch out of the fridge and out the door.It works well here.
