I’ve been baking lots of my own bread lately, and now I plan ahead and throw a few sweet potatoes in with the loaves :)

I am big on saving energy and money. So when I bake, I like to do it all at once or as much as possible. So if I am making mashed potatoes, I make enough to use later in the week for a casserole, or I bake cookies at the same time I am baking my bread, so I don’t have to use the oven twice and I make double my bread recipe so I can store some and don’t have to bake it as often. Yeah, sometimes it created more work, but it’s only more work one day a week, rather than everyday.

I usually pick one day a week where I cook several meals and then freeze them for later in the week.

i always do this, notonly save energy saves time and money no brainer

I live in base housing at Ft. Drum, NY. We are involced in a trial program that “rewards” us for reducing Energy consumption; heat, electricity, and water. This will be one of the easiest challenges! The program is called Synergy Rewards, if it works here, it will soon be Army wide!

So absolutely simple—I am thrilled to find a way to optimize my energy use!! Thanks for a great idea!

I do this regularly, feed my neighbors often as a result.

I have trouble eating i weight only 110 i did this one night and the i usually don’ feel like eating but looked in the fefig. anthere was thar potato and it was good warmed up

This Afternoon, I made pizza in the oven, and I made garlic bread too!
HA!

We love to bake potatoes when the oven is hot and fry them the next day in olive oil until they are crispy. They are the best.

I wonder what the cost/savings ratio is for purchasing a smaller toaster oven. I’d probably use it instead of the microwave for heating frozen dinners.

When i baked cookies last night, i also put in a chicken for tomorrow!!!!!

Saves time and energy.

When you are done baking, if it is winter, open the oven door and let the hot air help heat the home instead of trapping it inside the oven.

Really makes room to cook more items
