I was making up recipes in jars for my bazaars coming up.
While searching this site for just the right recipes I had an idea.
I was making up bean soup mixes and it occurred to me that this would be GREAT for our own pantry. Not in jars, but in bags. (We have a sealer) I am going to make up the beans/dry ingredients and seal them up on store them in a large container in the cabinet. Labeled of course. Then whenever DH wants a crock of soup he can just toss in some meat, veggies, and broth and let her rip! Even at the office, as I am going to make up some smaller portion bags just for him!
It only took me an hour to make up 24 qt jars of soup mixes...that is 24 meals 1/2 way done!
that means MORE sewing time later on!
check out all the stuff they have on this site, NOT just the recipe link I have posted!

Have you tried salad in a jar? If you have a sealer with a wide-mouth jar attachment, you can store prepared salad in a jar in the fridge for 14 days! Also makes it very easy to make up salads for work ahead of time, then grab-n-go in the morning.

WOW! Thanks so much you clever ladies! If I plan it just right there will be no need for me to ever leave my sewing room! Unfortunately, I find that I am spending way too much time playing on my computer- -looking at these websites that are such great time savers and with such good ideas for new projects and lovely fabrics and on and on and on...LOL
