Mom recently decided to make a few convenience meals to put in the freezer. There seems to be few foods we can take for errand or "music lesson" days. Pigs in a blanket are not the healthiest food we can eat, but should be better than eating out.
We purchased preservative-free turkey wieners, and used freshly-ground wheat flour in our crescent-type dough. Jonathan helped tackle the job with creativity: he is always the first to offer to help in the kitchen. Thank you, Jonathan for all your work!
Our dough recipe included whole wheat flour, sucanat, baking powder, baking soda, salt, butter, and goat milk. We made 64 small piglets; enough for three outings. Seems it should be a months' worth of meals with all the work and clean up it took.

Jonathan also made what he called "cows in a blanket" - bread pockets stuffed with cheese and pepperoni, although pepperoni does not come from a cow. Every one knows what animal they come from.
We also tried homemade fish sticks which were a hit. And we are rendering some beef tallow. Sarah wants to try some hash browns next. Yes, we must have too much time on our hands.

How creative and what a good idea!
