Lessons learned from our group:
- Each of us will prepare a main dish: Bring 10 "packages" of 6-servings each (to accomodate larger and smaller families)
- Suggested packaging: freezer ziploc bags or disposable foil pans
- Make sure each meal is labeled and dated and includes instructions on preparing the dish for eating
- Bring (or e-mail) the actual recipe you are making (so we can make them again ourselves later!)
- Since ours is a daytime group, kids are more than welcome to come :)
Other helpful hints:
- Avoid high sodium recipes, since the salt will lower the freezing point, so the food is not as safely frozen
- Don't put frozen dishes into a hot oven
- Cool food before freezing
- Cook meat thoroughly (not halfway) before freezing
