cookies! I make the batter, shape it into a log, and cut off enough pieces of dough to bake for whoever is present, then freeze the rest in wax paper or freezer paper. Grands love having fresh baked cookies, as does my husband. Me, too!

I have a German recipe that I make (Rouladens) that I make in steps. I generally make it when DD & DSIL come over for a meal. (He's from Germany & loves them....says mine are the best he's ever eaten). Well, I buy my meat & roll them up for the first step. Then I freeze them because I generally make them up well in advance of cooking. When it's company time I take them out of the freezer the day before company is coming & I defrost & braze them on the skillet. The next day I make the gravy & put them in the gravy & then the oven for about 4 hours. Yum! They are so yummy & tender.

My GKids always come with fundraiser catalogs and (of course) I buy something. One of them was a box of individual frozen cho chip cookies. When I used them up, I made a double batch of my own, used my cookie scoop and refilled the box. Now I have fresh cookies within 12 min when ever I need them.

I used to make massive amounts of cookies for the holiday season. I would take a day and measure out the dry ingredients in sandwich bags and put those bags and the recipe in a larger gallon bag then store these in a large grocery bag. When I had time I would mix a batch with the "wet" ingredients, one batch after another (didn't have to wash the mixer bowl in between), store in the fridge or freeze and bake another day. Only one day of cleaning up spilled flour, sugar, mixing cups, etc. and one cleanup of the mixer. I love baking--not so much cleanup.

I don't do much in the kitchen b/c my husband loves to cook and is a much better one than me. But I love doing yard work. I remember coming home from an 8 hour nursing shift and doing yard work for a few hours. Those days are gone!
