Success!
Today I did something out of the ordinary....helped make 35 dinners! While I've been a huge fan of Freezer meals----I've never done them other than for myself...and that's been awhile! I met my mom and sister Teresa over at my sister's house at about 8:15 am and we got started making meals for my sister. My sister-in-law Deni was able to join us and between the 4 of us....we did it! I might add it was WAY more fun doing it with 3 others---and it went really quickly! It normally takes me all day---12 hours--- to finish that many for my family. We finished up technically by 2:00 I think---but stopped for lunch and to rest a bit and to get the chicken that hadn't come into the store yet. Kaylee did awesome at keeping 5 kids entertained and Grandpa took them for an hour to swim in the kiddie pool at his house. Wish I had gotten a picture of Teresa's freezer before I left! YEAH!!! Now I need to get busy and so it again for my family! Hmmm.....wonder who I could invite over to help! hehehehehe....they've already all offered and we SHOULD get together and do it again...fun!

That is a great idea. I'm game for a freezer meal day if your family can't make it over to help! My family would love something other than pancakes and grilled cheese sandwiches, which has become our standard summer fare.
I think you should post or email me some recipes as I have a hard time thinking of meals to actually freeze. I've done enchiladas and lasagna, but that's pretty much where my repetoire ends.
I would like to come help next time you do it. I have been wanting to do this for SO long, just haven't taken the time to find some good recipes and figure it all out. CALL ME!
Tammy, Ashley and I did this back in November and it was great - we did enough that I got out of cooking 1 or 2 meals a week for almost 2 months. I enjoyed it so much I did it again with my family in a few months later. I had planned making and freezing meals again this summer for when the baby comes, but the idea of spending all day in the kitchen cooking in the summer really turned me off. I would love to know what meals you made too!
