Joy laughs I want to tell you how I got back into freezer meals after my first bad experience. They were guest speakers of mothers of preschoolers meeting I was at. And when I saw their topic, I even went up to them beforehand to tell them all about how terrible my experience was. I think I made them a little nervous. But while they were talking, once again, I was inspired and excited to try again. I wanted home cooked meals.
I wanted a stress free dinner time. I wanted to save time and save money. So I bought their binder. But this time, I knew better. I knew how much time it takes to shop and prep and organized and package freezer meals. And I had confidence in myself.
To modify my own recipes into freezer meals that I knew my family would enjoy. Now, you can maintain the one day one month freezer meal method with a friend. You can invite a friend over and have a big freezer meal party. I've done this twice. I did it once with somebody I didn't know very well. And by the end of the evening, we were hot and we were tired, and we were crabby.
And we never did that together again. Another time, I did a big freezer meal party with a friend that I knew very well. And we had a lot of fun. But her family's meals were very different from my family's meals which surprised me because we had eaten together each other's house so many times. So since our tastes were so different, we never did a freezer meal session together again. You could host a freezer meal party where you invite three friends and each of your friends brings two recipes and enough food to make those recipes four times.
So you get together at somebody's house, and each person would make their two recipes four times and at the end of the evening, everyone goes home with eight dinners. You could be a blessing to somebody else. You have a freezer full of meals. You have a stockpile. What if someone has a baby? What if somebody is home from the hospital?
What if somebody just needs somebody to cheer them up a bit, bring them dinner, cold freezer meal out and make somebody stay? Joy lab learning done right?
