Other stuff going on in my kitchen this week:  Black Bean Burgers (making to freeze), chocolate chip freezer cookies (recipe to follow), pumpkin bread (recipes to follow) 

Can I just let you know my DH and I had a deep FREEZER scare last week.  Thursday night I went to the deep freeze to grab a bag of cheese and yep, it was a little 'soft' to be frozen.  Long story short, the breaker had tripped from LAST THURSDAY (Thanksgiving) when I vacuumed out my van.  At least that is what we think...but the great news is:  everything was still frozen (meat wise) and the other things were just beginning to thaw a tad bit (thankful for this cold weather)!!!
