The first Frost

Well it is official, We have had our first frost. Mind you it wasn't a deep frost but it keeps the idea that winter isn't really all that far away.  So what have you started to do to get ready for the up coming winter?

I have started to stock up on what I call "Winter Time Foods". These things include things that are easy to cook using alternative methods in case there is no power.  I also have started to make meals ahead of time that are frozen and already cooked. That way I can take them out and just heat them up. You would be amazed at what you can cook on a grill. I make lasagna and then freeze it. I can then take it out of the freezer and set it on the grill. By keeping the grill temperature at a low temp you can re-heat it safely, leaving it wrapped up in foil to avoid burns.

Another great one is boneless, skinless Chicken breast. I make foil packets and inside them go chicken, sliced potato, veggie and some spices. This is actually a great year round kind of food that is easy, Campbell's Kitchen has a great recipe for this one. You can find it HERE.
