Italian sausage

I love to have homemade Italian sausage in the freezer. We add it to spaghetti, meatballs, meatloaf, and many other things. If you have a Kitchenaid mixer, the meat grinder attachment works great for this type of thing. Additionally, the sausage doesn’t have to be stuffed into the casings, you can also just make ‘bulk’…

Basil pesto

When basil is plentiful in the summer, I like to make gobs of this stuff. It freezes well too. There’s nothing better than whipping out some fresh basil pesto in January!
