In the Kitchen – Freezer Friendly Pizza Pockets

Posted on November 19, 2014 | 4 comments

DSC_0014

Baby it’s cooollllldddd outside!  That is why I’m in the kitchen with the oven on, lol.  Also, I have gotten so many requests for me to show more freezer meal options.  Here is one for you that the whole family will love.

I have a hard time keeping homemade pizza pockets in the freezer these days.  They are so good and once in the freezer they are ready to eat after 40 seconds in the microwave.  Lunch in 40 seconds, that rocks!

Here is how I made them. . . . .

You can use store bought pizza dough for these.  I used pizza dough I whipped up in my bread machine.  Any pizza dough will work.  Want a healthy dough use whole wheat pizza dough.  🙂

DSC_0001

Roll a bit of the dough out in a circle on a floured surface, I use my counter.  Roll it out to the size of your hand.

DSC_0002

Add a spoon full of pizza sauce, don’t get too saucy or it will make your dough wet and it won’t stick together.  Leave about 1/2″ of the edge of the dough dry.

DSC_0003

Add whatever you want as filling.  I made mine simple with turkey pepperoni and cheese.

DSC_0004

Fold the dough over.

DSC_0005

Roll the edges up and pinch to seal.

DSC_0006

Using the tines of a fork, go around the edges pressing down to seal well.

DSC_0008

Put them on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and put a small slit in the top of each one to let the steam release during cooking.

DSC_0009

Mix together a few tablespoons of Olive Oil, 1 t. spoon of garlic powder and 1 t. of parsley flakes.  Brush this mixture on top of the pizza pockets.  Gives the pocket a great garlic taste, mmmm.

DSC_0014

Bake in a 350 oven for 15-20 minutes.  Take them out of the oven and cool completely.  Wrap each one separately with plastic wrap and put in a gallon size freezer bag.  Label and freeze.  When ready to use microwave unwrapped frozen pizza pocket on high for 40 seconds.  Enjoy!

One more thing that you can make at home that you will know exactly what is in it and save quite a bit of money doing it.

Stay warm!

Until my next post. . . . . . .  .

Huge Hugs!

Freezer Apple Pie Filling and Instant Oatmeal Packets

Posted on November 8, 2014 | 3 comments

DSC_0001

Hello there,

I’m back in the kitchen and I thought I would share what I have been up to.

I was at the our little grocery store yesterday and I cannot resist stopping at their clearance fruit and veggie bin.  Does your store have one?

Our store always have these great bags of apples that may have a bruise or two for $2 for a 5 lb bag.  Now that’s cheap for apples.   I don’t care about any bruises since I use them to make apple pie filling or apple sauce with.   Also, I put my apple pie filling in freezer bags and freeze it.  This is done with a smile on my face knowing there is no added preservatives.

So here is how to freeze Apple Pie Filling:

DSC_0003

If you are going to be processing a lot of apples you can peel, core and slice them thin by hand or invest in an apple peeler/corer/slicer.    You can peel, core and slice an apple with one of these in just seconds.  I got mine from Amazon.

So after you get your apples peeled, cored and sliced, put 7-8 cups of apples in a gallon freezer bag.  Put 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in the bag and shake it up.  The lemon juice keeps your apples from turning brown.

Next, put the following in the bag:

1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg.

Seal and shake the bag coating the apples.

Lastly, cut up into chunks 2 tablespoons of butter and add it to the bag.

Squeeze as much air out of the bag as possible, seal and put it in the freezer.  🙂  I lay mine flat so they take up less space in the freezer.

To Cook:  Remove bag from the freezer and lay on the counter for about an hour to 45 minutes to defrost or in the refrigerator overnight.  Squish the bag to mix well and dump into a pie shell.  Either cover with a top crust and flute the edges or add a crumb topping.  Bake as you would any normal apple pie.  I bake mine at 350 degrees for about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Left over apple slices:

DSC_0004

Any left over apple slice get put in my dehydrator and dried.  We love to chop these dried apples up to put in our home made oatmeal packets (below).  Yep, I have all the kitchen toys, lol.

********************************************************

Instant Oatmeal Packets

DSC_0001

Making up your own instant oatmeal packets is so easy and they literally cost you pennies to make.  You will save around $2 on 10 packets.  Not to mention you can customize your packets to be just how you like them.

Here are a couple of some suggestions:

Brown Sugar Oatmeal:

1/4 cup quick cooking oats (instant), 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon powdered nonfat milk, 1/8 teaspoon salt

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal:

1/4 cup quick cooking oats (instant), 1 sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon powdered nonfat milk, 1-2 tablespoons dried apples, chopped

Cocoa Oatmeal:

1/4 cup quick cooking oats (instant), 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon baking cocoa

Today I customized mine to be brown sugar cinnamon apple raisin and put the following in them:

1/4 cup quick cooking oats (instant), 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon powdered nonfat milk, 2 tablespoon of dried apples and 2 tablespoons of raisins.

DSC_0002

I make up 20 quart size baggies at a time and store them rolled up in a 1 gallon bag.

To use dump the contents of one baggie into a bowl, add 1/2 cup water and microwave for around 1 minute.

The baggies are super easy to recycle.  When you empty one put it back in the gallon bag to use for the next round.  🙂  Mine have been used many, many times.

Have a terrific weekend!

Until my next post. . . . . . .  .

Huge Hugs!

Freezer Biscuits

Posted on November 3, 2014 | 11 comments

Hello there,

I’m in the kitchen this morning.  If you don’t know me well you probably don’t know that I am a freezer meal addict.  Not store bought freezer meals but homemade freezer meals.

Last week I purchased 80 lbs of fresh chicken breast from Zaycon and made over forty freezer meals, plus divided the remaining chicken breast up into meal size portions for Russ and I.  It took me 3 days, 1 for shopping and two for cooking.  Normally doesn’t take that long but I had a few other things going as well, like stamping and holding a stamp class,  lol.

DSC_0002

My chest freezer in my garage is now stuffed with meals that I can take out and either bake or put in the crockpot.   All that work really pays off for me for a long time.

DSC_0001

To keep organized and know what is in my freezer I keep a wipe board up to date that hangs above my freezer.   Not exactly rocket science but works out really well for me.  Yeah I’m not very classy, lol.  Don’t you just love the tupperware bowl screwed to the wall that holds my markers and eraser, grin.  Remember my freezer is in my garage.

DSC_0018

Today I made up a batch of freezer biscuits. No store bought biscuits at my house, especially since they are so super easy to make and they freeze wonderfully.

Here is how I make them. . . . .

DSC_0003  DSC_0006

DSC_0007

Using my food process add the following:

4 cups of all purpose flour, 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt.  Put the top on and process for a few seconds to mix.

DSC_0008

Cube 1 cup of cold butter and put in processor and process until mixture is crumbly.

DSC_0010

Now I have to laugh at this picture, I tried to pour my 1 1/2 cups of milk in the processor as I took the picture, lol.  Don’t try this at home folks!  You want to put the entire 1 1/2 cups of milk in the processor as it is processing.

DSC_0012

Process until your dough just comes together.

 

DSC_0017  DSC_0013

Important step here, lol.  Take off your rings, nothing worse than picking dough out of your rings, lol.   Put dough on floured surface.  Do not knead, just put it into a ball.

DSC_0014  DSC_0015

Roll it out to 1/2″ to 3/4″ thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter.  If you are fancy like me you use a glass, lol.   Yep, I know they will never ask me to be on the food network!

DSC_0016

Freeze on a cookie sheet for 1 to 2 hours.

DSC_0018

Put in a freezer bag and don’t forget to write on the bag to thaw biscuits for 30 minutes and bake at 450 degrees for 8-12 minutes.  You can cook as few or as many as you need.

Now you too can give up the processed biscuits you find at the grocery.  It’s that easy!

Carrots, Carrots and More Carrots

Posted on October 8, 2014 | 6 comments

DSC_0002

Hello there,

I’ve been MIA from the blog today because it was time to dig up those carrots, scrub them, peel them, cut them up and can them.   We now have glazed carrots with orange juice and brown sugar glaze and plain carrots ready to be put in the pantry.

DSC_0005

If you are a gardener you know just how satisfying it can be to look at a counter full of canned goods, you will be enjoying all Winter long, that you put up with your own two hands from seed to table.  Ahhhh!  I’m doing the happy dance.

The past couple of weeks it was everything I could do to put up two trees worth of pears.  But we now have pear sauce, jam and syrup.

Week before that it was all about the tomatoes.  I now have stashed away all the tomato sauce and spaghetti sauce we will need for the entire year.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I still have frozen tomatoes and strawberries to deal with in the freezer.  I think I will can some BBQ sauce and strawberry jam.

So if you ever wondered what I do for fun in my spare time, now you know, I CAN!

Have a wonderful evening!

Until my next post. . . . . . .  .

Huge Hugs!

Kitchen Time – Sausage Buiscuits and Sweet Pickles

Posted on July 29, 2014 | 1 comment

Hello There,

Sorry, no stamping today.

I haven’t blogged much about the happenings in my kitchen of late and it’s just because I haven’t had the time to do much in it.  But then I went into the grocery yesterday and the butcher was marking down the fresh ground turkey packages from $4.59 to $1.99.  Guess what, I stood there until he put the last mark down sticker on and put all 5 packages of it in my cart.  5 lbs of fresh ground turkey for under $10, you bet I bought it all.

It’s these buys that I am always looking for to make my freezer meals out of.  So, today I turned that ground turkey into turkey sausage.  Click here for the link to the recipe.

After I seasoned the ground turkey I made patties out of it and fried it.

While the turkey sausage patties cooled I made some biscuits from scratch.  Click here for the biscuit recipe I used.

Put the sausage biscuits together and food saved them (wrap in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer bag if you don’t have a food saver).  Into the freezer they go.  When we want to eat them we microwave them.  7 breakfasts done for my darling husband and I.  This will also keep Russ from stopping at McDonald’s on his way to work when I am too busy stamping out my latest project to make him breakfast.  Yes, I confess, many a day you can find me stamping in the wee hours of the morning.

The remainder of the sausage patties get packaged up and froze.  7 more packages in the freezer.  Nice to pull out heat and eat as is, broken up into omlets, breakfast burritos etc.  Being fully cooked means no messy pan to deal with when you are in a hurry.

14 items in my freezer for $15 ($10 for turkey, $3 for spices and $2 for biscuits).  Not bad.  🙂  Yes I confess, I’m a freezer meal junky, lol.  This type of thing rocks my world.

On another note, my garden is producing cucumbers and onions so it is time to start a batch of sweet pickles.  Click here for the recipe. These were mixed up and they go right into the frig and will be stirred once a day for the next 5 days.  Then they go into pint jars and are put in the freezer, mmmm.  They stay crisp even after freezing.

Now it’s time to go visit the girls (chickens) and relax a bit.

Strawberry Days

Posted on June 1, 2014 | 3 comments

Hello There,

Happy Sunday!  I hope you are having a relaxing weekend.  But if you are anything like me you tend to use the weekend to get caught up on things.  🙂

It’s strawberry time here.  I have a little patch of strawberries that gives me about a quarter a day from the last week of May to the end of June.  That is if I get out early to pick them before the local birds eat them.

They are yummy just eaten as is, straight from the garden.   We have had strawberry short cake a few times and this morning I made Fresh Strawberry Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins,  Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Click here to check out the Muffin Recipe.

Any strawberries left get frozen immediately to be used later in jam etc.

This is how I freeze them.  I rinse them off with cool water.  I hull them (cut the tops off).  Then I let them dry on a kitchen towel for a few moments.  After they are dry I put them on a cookie sheet in a single layer and par freeze them for 1 hour.  Then into a freezer bag and off to the freezer they go for later use.  Super simple!

The tops that I have cut off when hulling them are given to the girls as a treat.  We don’t waste anything we grow.  🙂

They love them.

Simple Canning Labels – Stampin’ Up! Tutorial #622

Posted on July 15, 2013 | 8 comments

Hey There,

My garden is in full swing and it’s CANNING TIME!  I love putting up beautiful jars of home grown food.

Yesterday, I canned 8 jars of zucchini relish, 12 jars of bread and Butter pickles and started my sauerkraut (which has to ferment for a few weeks).

The new Stampin’ Up! stamp set, Kind and Cozy and matching Gingham wheel will make my finishing touches on my canned goods super simple to do and they will look oh so cute.  Check out below just how simple it is to make cute labels and belly bands for your jars.  Keep in mind the jars can hold whatever you want, even stamping supplies!

**************************************************

Now on with today’s tutorial. . . . .  . .

Project Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Kind & Cozy (item #129126) and Gingham Wheel (item #130110)

Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler, Pink Pirouette and Stazon Jet Black

Accessories: Stampin’ Up!  2 1/2″ Circle Punch (item 120906), Decorative Label (item 120907) and Sticky Strip ( item 124294), printer for label title

Stamped the Gingham circle on Whisper White card stock using Cherry Cobbler ink.

Stamped the words “made with love” using Stazon Jet Black ink.

Stamped the heart using Cherry Cobbler ink.

Stamped the flowers using Pink Pirouette ink.

Punched the circles out using the 2 1/5″ circle punch.

Printed the text out for my label on Whisper White card stock and then punched them out using the Decorative Label Punch.

Cut Strips of Whisper White card stock and then rolled the Gingham wheel on the strips using Cherry Cobbler ink.  I then cut the edges off of the strips to straighten things up a bit.  I can never wheel straight, lol.

Also wheeled the Gingham wheel on the top and bottom edges of the label using Cherry Cobbler ink.

Here is the put together jars.  Again, this was super simple and fast.  Now that I have my design down for this years labels I will do the same design only in different colors.  So next I’ll do my canned bread and butter pickle jars only in Old Olive.  I plan on using the same design so when I gift a basket of home made items they will coordinate.

May your day be a total delight.

Until my next post. . . . . .

Huge Hugs!

That means FREE STAMPS (or other products) I can SHARE with YOU!
So let’s get started with July/August Online Mystery Hostess Workshop!
How do you get to be part of the Mystery Hostess Workshop?
Simply use the Hostess Code below and place an order in my online store by 11:00 pm on Friday, August 2, 2013.
Important: To be part of the Online Mystery Hostess Workshop, once you add your first item to your shopping bag the hostess code must be entered just below the Special Offers section and it should say Michelle Zindorf as the Hostess.
Once all the orders are placed, on Saturday morning, August 3, 2013, I will draw ONE name to get hostess benefits on the entire order! I will email the winner to get your choices.
Your Hostess Code is: KVP77JCH
Ready – Set – GO!! Start placing your orders now!… Remember, the deadline for this event is 11:00 pm on Friday, August 2, 2013.
Please do not put the hostess code in if your merchandise order is $150 or more.  You would lose your hostess benefits that you would have coming already.
