Angie–Thank you for commenting, inspiring, and encouraging. I appreciate the extra tips.
Sue Ellen–In the spirit of my more with less approach to life, I would love to borrow the book if you have it. If not, then may be I will actually go to the library. Hmmm. What a novel idea. (pun intended) Okay, I know that was corny, but I couldn’t resist.

Yay! I’m glad to hear your first time freezer cooking went well. I agree with all of the benefits you listed! Freezer cooking for me greatly reduces my stress level, saves me so much time and money, and I get to enjoy one full day with a good friend of mine. Many great topics have been discussed over a full day of cooking with her.

I do place my aluminum pans in 2 gallon bags. I just like the extra protection of the pan being covered in foil and then in plastic. Plus, it contains any spills that might occur when transporting the meals from her house to mine. If you cook with a friend, you’ll need to have a planning day to figure out what you are going to cook and quantities that need purchasing. And one person will have to bring dishes/utensils/etc. Be sure to bring coolers to store the food once prepared.

Another tip – wear good shoes if you plan on cooking for an entire day. You don’t want your feet to hurt from standing.
