Some Pinteresting Meals

My friend J introduced me to Pinterest a few months ago. It's a very handy website.

I have fabulous boards filled with projects and recipes. Most of which I DO plan to use. Especially the freezer recipes. And the classroom ideas.

I've been searching for new recipes to add to my repetoire--especially some fresh takes on dinners. I am trying to limit the number of my recipes that use canned cream soups (have you read the ingredients lists on those?) or other processed foods.

Also, I'm always looking for new recipes to dump straight into the crockpot. I love my crockpot, er, crockpots. They make life so much easier.

It's Official...

I have finally finished my Bachelor's degree.

I have my teaching certificate.

I have a summer with NO homework!

It has been so nice to spend time with my family--relaxing, visiting relatives, and enjoying the not-so-sunny summer weather of the Pacific Northwest (though the recent thunderstorms have been amazing!).

I've enjoyed cooking fresh meals, though I do miss the convenience of plopping a frozen meal into the crockpot. I've missed my freezer meals so much that I have decided to keep up my semiannual tradition of freezer cooking insanity. I think it will help my first year as a teacher to go smoothly. If student teaching is any clue to how "employed" teaching works, every freezer meal will be worth it's weight in gold come fall!
