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.
Casserole Ideas. Easy meals to make and share.
Question: Hey, we are making freezer meals (as a relief society activity) for the compassionate service leader to keep & distribute as needed. Do you have a couple of recipes you could recommend? Thanks Jen!
Answer: Yes I do have some great casserole type dishes.
Family Reunion Meals Made Easy

We just had a wonderful family reunion with my in-laws in Ashton, Idaho. It involved staying in a massive cabin with 17 adults and 17 kids, a hike to a nearby waterfall (Mesa Falls), and trip to the gorgeous sand dunes in Saint Anthony. We also ate a lot of good food and played a lot of deep belly laughing games. To make sure no one person was stuck in the kitchen the entire time, we organized it so each family teamed up with one other to make dinner on one of the nights. Breakfast and lunch was set out by the reunion hosts.
Our first night in Ashton we had a hot dog bar with 3-4 different signs instructing you how to make your hot dog special. Very cute idea!

My husband loves store bought frozen burritos, but I am not a fan because they are so full of fat and preservatives. To me they taste processed, greasy and stale. I take it as a personal challenge to make food my hubby will like better then his beloved bachelor food. These Cafe Rio Sweet Pork frozen burritos have wowed him. They are healthy, taste fresh and are full of flavor. You are going to love this recipe!
