Freezer Meals Group

The South Weber 1st Ward has been doing a few "freezer groups" which I have been wanting to get into for almost a year now, but am still on the waiting list. So instead of waiting another year, I thought I'd propose the idea to our ward/neighborhood and see if enough sisters were interested to get one started. Here's the general idea of what they do, but of course we could do it any way we wanted:

Myrt Hyer (if any of you remember her) made copies of her recipe book which has freezer meal ingredients, instructions, recipes etc. and I've got it to use.
They do six gals in a group and get together once a month. I believe they have a daytime group and a nighttime group for people that work during the day. Each person picks a recipe and buys the ingredients to make six of that particular recipe. All of the prep work (which is usually minor) is done at home, then they get together at someone's house and each person assembles their six meals using the ingredients that everyone brought. All of the recipes are meant to be stored in the freezer and then go straight into the oven or crockpot. One recipe feeds a family of six, so if you have a large family you go home with six freezer meals but if your family is smaller then it could be twelve or more meals if you divide them up. They split the costs evenly and on average spend about $50 a month.

I have more details of course, but that is the gist of it. If you're interested, email me at mollycollings@gmail.com
