Freezer Cooking- Slow Cooker Meals! **Update 9.2.2012- Many of the recipes below turned out a bit more "bland" than my husband and I like so at the end of this post I have offered some "additions" to the recipes that you can try if you wish!

~ Melissa ** Fall is SUPER BUSY for me at work... and I typically get home late and don't have time to cook (Okay I'll admit it.. I don't FEEL like cooking! Andrew was out of town this weekend so I thought it would be the perfect time to experiment with this whole "Once A Month Freezer Cooking" thing I have read about on Pinterest.com.

Pan-Roasted Chicken With Lemon-Garlic Green Beans. The Crafty Blog Stalker: The Best Homemade Ranch Recipe. Ranch is a staple around here, and in fact it gets it’s own spot on the food triangle. Because Ranch is so important we have become Ranch Snobs. We spend a lot of money on that white creamy goodness because we want the good stuff. I have always preferred homemade dressings to store bought but have also bought plenty of bottles in my day. Last week I came across a BYU Creamery Ranch Dressing recipe from “One Good Thing” by Jillee.
I have lived in Utah for almost 10 years and I had never had BYU’s Ranch. But it looked pretty good so I thought I would give it a try.WOW! This ranch is AMAZING and has quickly became our new favorite.

We bought all of the spices in the bulk section at WinCo (love that store) and spent about $2.50, THAT’S IT! Start by putting all the dry ingredients into a gallon size zip bag So yummy!
Recipe Snobs: Cinnamon and Sugar Pull-Apart Bread. I feel like through life we are always finding new things out about ourselves. Like for instance, as a kid I loved clam chowder. Now, I’ve come to realize that I really don’t care for it all that much, and that the only reason I was so crazy about it as a kid is that I thought it was fun to bite into the pieces of clam and have it feel and sound like you were biting into a balloon. I know… I was kind of a weird child, but weren’t we all ;) Anyways, through this blogging experience I have found that I love taking picture, but not just any picture. So I have an excuse for my addictive impulse to always shoot ingredients while I am pouring them, and I completely release full responsibility for my actions to my little split personality french photographer… who exists in my brain.
