As a busy stay-at-home mom of 4, I need God's designed "day of rest" probably more than most! And to help keep our budget from exploding from always eating out (and causing more people to work) on Sundays; I have started a plan of Double-Day Freezer cooking. On a specified day each week, I will plan to cook a double-sized meal and put one of those in the deep freeze to pull out and use on Sunday evenings. This saves me time by cooking once, and feeding twice. And my family still gets a good home cooked meal, without me spending lots of energy on Sunday preparing it.

This blog is my place to share my Double Day Freezer Meal recipes with you, and hopefully give others a day of rest too! :)
