Taking the guess work out of dinner.

I was at a party a few months ago and was asked this question in a get-to-know you game: “How does dinner come together daily in your home?” I laughed because as much as I love to cook, my routine was not exciting or impressive. Every night around 5pm my routine was to look in the freezer, pull something out, defrost it,add fresh ingredients and serve it with a few side dishes in about 15 minutes. It was the same every night and has worked great for us. But when our home was hit by lightening and our oven was fried 8 weeks ago, I was unable to bake, and we had to switch things up a little. I decided we would plan a weekly menu and repeat it weekly using recipes I could make on the stove top.
Sunday Cinnamon Rolls

I am so looking forward to serving cinnamon rolls this Sunday. The best part is, I made cinnamon rolls 2 weeks ago when my oven started working again. I’ve had a bag of frozen cinnamon rolls in the freezer since then, saved especially for this Sunday. When you freeze cinnamon rolls, you simply set them out the night before on a baking sheet lightly covered with plastic wrap and in the morning they will be ready to bake and serve 15 minutes later. You are going to love this recipe!
Neat, it’s Greek!

I am addicted to Greek yogurt. It is so thick and creamy and similar to custard. Greek yogurt has double the protein, is lower in calories and sodium then traditional yogurt and is filled with probiotics, calcium, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and B12. Now that I’ve tasted the good stuff, I can’t eat Yoplait and Dannon yogurt anymore. Traditional brands (even the lite versions) taste more like a cup of melted ice cream to me then yogurt. It is packed with so much sugar (often over 30 grams of sugar per serving.)
Book edits to date

There are a few errors in the latest printing of Fabulous Freezer Meals. Please note the changes and accept my apology for the few mistakes that made it past me, editors and the publisher. We will correct these mistakes in the next printing.
CHICKEN POT PIE
Question:
I recently purchased the Fabulous Freezer Meals book and it seems the first paragraph of instructions for the Chicken Pot Pie recipe is completely missing. I was hoping to find an errata section for the book on this site but there is none. If the missing set of instructions could be provided, that would be great. Thanks.
Freezer Meal Basic Training

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday. I apologize it has been awhile since my last post. We played until we dropped every day of the vacation. My girls received a lot of art supplies for Christmas and my husband bought me an electric back massager. Between making crafts, playing in the snow, eating chocolate and enjoying back rubs, life has been pretty busy around here.
I don’t know about you, but my freezer is EMPTY! It is time to re-stock. I’ve been busy today slicing up marinated steak strips for future meals, and I hope to continue stocking my freezer with cooked rice, meat balls, pot stickers and Chicken Cordon Bleu. I had some time to experiment over the break with some new recipes and I can’t wait to share them with you over the next couple of weeks!
A few months ago I presented to a group of women in Logan, UT how to get started with making freezer meals. Around 60 women attended and with the help of a few other women, the evening was put together with ease and was a huge success. I’ve had the opportunity to teach freezer meal basic training many times and I’ve put together a list of basic tips and recipes I use when I teach.
If you are planning on getting started this year with making freezer meals or would like to spread the word about how great it is to have your freezer stocked, feel free to use this Freezer Meal Basic Training.
