Meet The Freezer Friendz!

Freezer Friendz was started in March 2008 by moms who were looking for a way to simplify dinnertime in their homes. The "Friendz" currently include Amy, Erica, Jackie, Jen, and Wendy. We meet once a month with our co-op to trade prepared freezer dinners with each other. We make the same dinner 5 times, then trade - yielding each of us 5 different dinners for the month, even though we each only cooked one recipe! We rotate our recipes amongst the following categories: beef & pasta, beef no pasta, chicken & pasta, chicken no pasta, soup/stew/chili and "other" (anything that does not fall under the previously listed categories).


Check out the comments with each recipe to see what the Freezer Friendz and others thought about the meals.
Feel free to leave your comments too after you try a recipe. We'd love to know what you think!

  1. I found these freezer bags on line by accident, I purchased
    a box and they are the best bags ever. The pre-printed info on the
    bag is genius. You have to try them.

  2. LOVED this meal! The kids liked the meatballs too. When they saw the pineapple and peppers, they were NOT happy about this meal. After they tried a meatball they were asking for more. Thanks Jen! We served ours over rice. :)

  3. I served mine over rice and liked it with the flavor of the meatballs. It was not a favorite for the kids though.
