Love the blue cart! Also love how you've taken IKEA pieces and made them your own. Great colors!

This is a great question! My vegetarian sister-in-law is about to give birth and I am trying to figure out what meals I can freeze for her this weekend to be ready for when they come home. I was thinking about my recipe for refried bean and cheese enchiladas. Here is the recipe if you're interested:
I make white jasmine rice (2 servings worth seems to be a good amount for this).
Then once that's about ready I stir in a can of refried beans with whatever seasonings you would use for tacos (i skip the packet and just put in what I have on hand - chilli powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, etc. whatever you like).
Once that is heated through I heat up 8 burrito sized flour tortillas on a plate in the microwave, covered with plastic wrap for about 45secs - just to soften them up.
Then I spread the mixture on a tortilla and top it with grated cheddar cheese and roll it up.
Then take a 13x9 pan and spray it with cooking spray and put enough enchilada sauce (I love the sauce Whole Foods sells, not sure of the brand. It's pricey but so much better than any other I've tried. It has a yellow label if that helps) in the bottom to coat the pan then put the rolled up enchiladas in.
Coat them with the rest of the enchilada sauce (not so much that they are swimming in sauce, but just enough to coat them).
Top this with more cheddar cheese.
I usually then cover it with foil and bake at 375 for 25 mins, then I take the foil off and bake for another 10 mins or so until the cheese is bubbly.

My problem is I don't know how I would adjust this recipe for freezing. Would I just cook it longer? Anyone know the best way to go about this?
I look forward to reading other freezable meal ideas!

It took me having a hard drive completely fail and loosing tons of photos for me to get into this habit. I now back up once a month or when I have a lot of new pictures uploaded or important projects going on.

Way to go bold! I see this working really well with Asian inspired accents throughout the rest of the room.

Inspirational!

Oh my god! I love your dogs!! Look at those faces!

DROOL!

Similar to the Alcohol suggestion above, I've always used nail polish remover to get sap off skin. Works like a charm and I always have it on hand (pun intended!). Wouldn't use that on the carpet though.

I would agree with maybe bringing something other than dinner foods. Maybe a home made granola and dried fruits? Something that would keep for awhile and be easy to snack on or throw together with something else like yogurt.

I was always a strict "nothing on the fridge" kind of person until recently when we hung up birthday cards our nephews had made for my husband. Somehow that just seems perfect for the fridge.
