When the bakery marks loaves down, I buy a few for the freezer. This is so handy to have this on hand and for a great deal too.

Another option is to use coconut milk instead of regular milk for those that might need that alternative.

Carrie’s favorite time saving tip:
We are always looking for ideas to make meal prep and dinner time easier around here. Life is crazy with 8 kids and anything I can do to save time is a winner in my book.
Many of the recipes we make call from chopped onion or green peppers.
I use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop onions. If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them.
They are such a time saver.
I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes.
This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.
Learn and how to freeze onions and also how to freeze peppers to save so much time in the kitchen!
