I’ve joined up with Crystal of MoneySavingMom.com and FishMama at LifeasMOM.com to to participate in Freezer Cooking Day. The goal is to cook as much or as little as you can for your freezer beginning January 29 and ending on February 2, 2010. We will be tweeting about it all weekend and if you wan to join the conversation just use hash tag #oamc.

I started a little early (actually, as soon a I learned about it), with my cooking. I was in desperate need to clear out and organize my freezers, so this cook day event came just in time.

Here is my menu: (with some of my recipe links and pictorials)

Banana Bread x 1

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread x 2

Chocolate Chip Pancakes x 1
