Hey guys, I know haven't posted in awhile, just been still trying to recoop from these new hips, one is 1 and 1/2 and the other a year. I just keep pulling muscles and with the winter it was hard to get moving. So here I am a bit older, still fat (lol) the baby is now 2 and 1/2 and is growing in leaps and bounds. My other two are also doing well...
okay all caught up..lol.. hope everyone is doing well too..

I was making sloppy joes and pulled pork bq for sandwiches. I made tons of extra...well.

So 99cent menu can kiss my hiney...

I took paper cupcake holders and filled each one and placed in freezer for a few hours, then removed paper and all and put them in freezer bag (label) and now when the kids want a sandwich (i keep hamburger buns around) they pop one in a bowl and nuke for 1 minute and put on the bun.

quick, and easy..

we have been really doing this for a few weeks and wow, it is a real time saver, especially with hungry husbands and kids..

I am getting ready to perfect the best breakfast on the fly.. will post when I get that going...lol

hello to everyone

I like that idea. Glad to hear you are doing well with the new joints. You are still breaking them in.

Thanks for the tip. I have been wondering how you were doing, thanks for the update.

**StaceyS** · 02-28-2011, 05:59 PM

What a great idea!

I actually make sandwiches with the pulled pork, double wrap and freeze. They take about a minute in the microwave, and I have a hot sandwich all ready, don't have to worry about whether I have buns.

you might want to use the pork frozen by itself to top a baked potato - I do that, too, with left over shredded pork.

woohoo, they posted this tip in the dollar stretcher...
and i just made a second batch, they were so popular. I also did a chili and the pop it on top of burgers, fries, and eat is regular...the only thing with the chili is to thaw it in a bowl..
