You’ve got a grammar mistake in your last dish: Bacon Covered Kalua Pork
You’ve written:
All I have to say is this recipe uses bacon and I’m sure your already sold.
You’ve used the wrong your. Should be:
All I have to say is this recipe uses bacon and I’m sure you’re already sold.
Your means something belongs to you. You’re is a contraction of “you are”.
Anyhow – I’ve pinned some and am excited to try them!

The taquitos are definitely a great idea. I’m sure I’ll be using the George Foreman grill often now that the weather is about to get warmer. – yolonda

Great round-up! I’ll definitely have to try out the Freezer Friendly Apple Crisp. It looks and sounds utterly scrumptious!

I don’t usually make a ton of freezer meal. Our freezer is rather small so I don’t have room to store it. 🙁

I’ve never thought of preparing freezer meals before, but it’s a very clever idea. I bet it saves a lot of prep time for the family!

I will list it down and make sure to do it on weekends. It will be nice to have those for emergency hungers. 🙂

I am planning to spend Sunday preparing a bunch of freezer meals. It is a great way to be prepared for the month ahead. I find I get a lot less take out if I have a freezer full of delicious meals.
