Microwave Caramels Recipe - Food.com - 367414. Snickerdoodle Muffins. Last Friday I finished my exams and was planning on coming home and having a baking extravaganza, but then I tripped on my cat and fell down the stairs. We're both fine, though I think he's a lot more fine than me because as soon as I felt his soft body under my foot I took all my weight off of him and slid down the stairs. Which has left me with a swollen foot. But since I was so looking forward to baking, I made a couple of more simple things, chocolate pots de creme and eggnog cheesecake bars.

Freezer Meals. **Update - Click here for a review of the meals we made** This post is extremely long, but hopefully it will be helpful to someone planning on freezing meals!
I plan on posting updates after we actually eat this food too, to give an update on how it fares after the defrosting process. I have always thought that making meals to freeze would be a great idea, but we have never found the motivation to do a big day of cooking before now - I guess the idea of having a newborn to take care of is the kick in the pants we needed to try this out!
I have made a few things for some of the new parents in my life before, so that was a good small test run. After doing this, I really wish we had done it sooner - it didn't take THAT long at all, and would be great for nights where you don't feel like cooking - it helps if you have thought ahead enough to take something out of the freezer to defrost, but it's not essential (usually you can just bake for longer).

But a change of scenery tends to get the creative juices flowing. So, yes, I apologize about all this vacation talk, but this story must be told… As you all know I am allergic to exercise.

I instantly felt young and fit. My friends and I brought the average age of the class down by 40 years or so.
