I always enjoy homemaking posts that detail what that person did in her home that day. These are not boring at all to me. In fact I often learn something new that I can put to use in my own home.
While the granola was baking, I quickly made a freezer crockpot meal-- Italian Sausages with Peppers and Onions. This meal takes just minutes to put together. It's so nice to pull out on a busy day and throw into the crockpot.
We prefer pork sausage but Aldi only had turkey when I was shopping last week so we'll use turkey sausage this time!
Hamburger patties are super easy to make so it may seem silly to make them ahead. But to me it makes sense to go ahead and quickly make them up so they're ready when I need them.
So this post is one of those-- what I did today.
I went shopping late last week so there was meat in the refrigerator that needed to be dealt with before it went bad. I like to go ahead and prep most meats ahead of time and then freeze them.
So today was definitely a cooking day!
First off, we were out of granola so I made a double batch. We don't eat much cereal-- we don't really care that much for it and it takes several bowls to fill us up! We do like homemade granola though and it's been nice to keep on hand this summer for a cooler breakfast with yogurt and fruit. We've been eating it once or twice a week for a change of pace.

Next up was some ground beef to take care of! I made 8 hamburger patties to freeze. We'll be grilling half of these this weekend and then will have enough ready for another meal later.
We like to eat supper within about 30 minutes of me returning home from work so any prep work I can do ahead makes supper prep and the evening go that much smoother.
I do a load of laundry pretty much every day plus other routine homemaking tasks so those things were also completed this morning.
I also was able to hard-boil a dozen eggs and then run the dishwasher before leaving for work this afternoon.

When I made dinner tonight-- Pork and Veggies-- I doubled the recipe and froze one portion for dinner one night next week.
Andy is working the run-off election tomorrow so after dinner, I packed a lunch for him.
In a nutshell, that's what I did today.
What did you do today?

I enjoy these type of post also. This is our last day of vacation so I didn't do much today. I ironed, put two coats of paint on my wishing well flower container, filled the bird feeders, made lunch and then we had a family dinner out for my nieces 21st birthday.
