Baking In Bulk

[Jan Ferrante]

This morning I'm getting a start bright and early before it gets too hot to do some bulk baking ahead for our freezer.

It's mostly for school lunches and also for snacks.

The more I can make ahead, the better.

I'm looking at doing some cookies, muffins, make ahead mixes.

Also my husband has requested butter tarts (which is daunting because I've never made them and his grandmother used to make awesome buttertarts), and date squares.

Hey, he isn't going back to school! That dastardly devil!

I've cleared some time this week exactly to set up for the coming fall when I will be busy with work and the kids will be back to school - hence in need of lots of snacks.

I'll be posting some recipes and ideas here, I'd love to hear some of yours!

I'm just sneaking a minute here now, I'm off to do some baking!
