I hope the meat from that nifty little Mennonite farm is even better than you expected. : ) If you like, I’ll give you details about another n.l.M. farm where they raise a wide variety of organic vegetables which are Very Inexpensive. And you can get discounts for large amounts for canning and freezing.

All this pantry and freezer organization and menu planning makes me feel ambitious. Thanks for the inspiration.

@Amy, it’s one of out indulgent treat since I don’t usually buy puff pastry. I think I have a half package floating in my freezer too – maybe a small sammy with some sort of soup over the weekend

Thank you so, so much for those ideas! My 2yo has been begging for popsicles. I’m definitely going to make some for her. And it never occurred to me to use the juice in smoothies. Great idea!

Amy,

Here is some suggestions for the apple juice… you can use it in muffin recipes as the liquid in the recipe. My kids love it when I make apple cider/juice muffins

Use the juice in your smoothies.

If you need a recipe for jelly here is one…apple jelly.

The other fun thing with the apple juice is make popsicles with it. My mom used to that and even stuck pieces of strawberries or blueberries in the juice before freezing in it a paper cup with a stick.

One last recipe to do with apple juice…Apple Cinnamon Raisin Bread

I can NOT wait to hear how your $100 for 7 people challenge goes!

I hope it doesn’t make my chicken “sweet”!

Maybe I’ll do that when I cook the turkey breast in my freezer. Great idea! Thanks! And YAY for 3 freezers.

My hubby will NOT do the sweet/spicy combo (so unadventurous) but I think some of your other ideas just might work. Thanks!

I have a bottle of hot sauce just waiting to be used. Might have to try that trick!

Mmmm, I have pie filling, too. Blueberry turnovers. Yum!
