I don’t know why I always forget about the freezer – what a great way to keep things simple!!!

We do well with making homemade pizza once/week – I use whole wheat flour and throw in a handful or so of oatmeal for a little extra fiber kick. The homemade way of doing it is not only tastier and cheaper than carry-out, but the kids get to help roll out the dough (which I make in the bread machine – LOVE it!) and add the toppings of their choosing (also great with my son who has food allergies). We have my parents over on pizza nights to make it a fun family dinner night. That’s tonight, in fact (the bread machine his humming as I type)!

Charlotte: You really should go find yourself an Asian Indian who cooks OKRA.. you will love it, I guarantee. Until then, try this: wash your okras before you chop them, then drain the remaining bits of water ( I just wash it and leave it in a colander for a few minutes.. I did say 2 mins), some people suggest blotting it dry with paper towel. Now proceed to cut and cook. Resist the urge to cut it very small and be a bit geneorus with the oil when you pan fry.

I have known Charlotte since her Vitamix giveaway (LOL..of course, I didn’t win). I don’t do well with planning and freezing things ahead of time, but if there is one thing that I couldn’t live without in my kitchen: it is the pressure cooker. I make bean soups in it all the time. I grew up with pressure cookers. You don’t even have to presoak your beans. Just soak it in hot water for 30 mins and pressure cook it..

I don’t have a fancy smacny pressure cooker , just an ordinary presto. I grew up with pressure cookers as South Indians use it to cook their rice and lentils every day.

Awesome and hilarious post! I have major love for soups from scratch too, but I don’t make them as often as I should. And I love me a good stir fry!
