I made the I made the creamy pesto rigatoni with tomato vinegarette tonight, it didn’t freeze well. The ziti came out very watery and not creamy at all. Love the potoato pancakes!

Having made it I am pretty sure that it would. The only thing I would be a “little” concerned about is the uncooked potatoes. Just make sure they are submerged so they don’t turn brown.

Would it work to make the garden chowder like a dump recipe? As in dump it all in a bag, freeze and then cook in the crock pot? Just curious. . .

I just finished my OAMC this weekend. It was a long 8 hours, but now my freezer is FULL!! My 5 year old loved helping me make the pop tarts. We put a little peanut butter in some of them for the filling & it worked out great. It got her taste “seal of approval”

I just made up the roast beef and froze it in appropriate portions. Do not freeze on the bread, it will get soggy. Either buy the rolls and freeze them separately or wait until you are serving the roast beef.

By: Sabrina Pate

Sabrina Pate — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:19:55 +0000

so for the roast beef sandwiches, do you make up each sandwich and then wrap and freeze? do the rolls get soggy?

My husband has recommended I make cinnamon/brown sugar ones but haven’t had time to try it yet. He recommends squirt butter and a teaspoon of each. Let us know if you try that.

This was my first time cooking this menu. I had a blast doing it! My twin sister and I worked together on it. We put pictures up on our facebook pages.

I get a lot of my pans at the Xmas Tree Shops (you can search the site for that store to see some of my posts about it). I have also gotten them at my grocery store and occasionally I find them at dollar stores. Good luck, can’t wait to hear how it goes.
