Our ward is having a Relief Society meeting tomorrow night where we will be preparing freezer meals that can be taken to families in the neighborhood who may be in need. In addition, we are having a presentation about preparing freezer meals, and yes, somehow, I have been selected to be a part of that presentation.
Working with another 'expert' from the ward (because she also has a pinterest board for freezer meals), we have compiled some information we think is helpful to anyone interested in using freezer meals as a part of their regular routine. I've posted some of the information we will be sharing below with links, but I know there is a lot more information out there!

P.S. I've used a lot of sarcasm about being an expert...1) I don't really think I'm an expert, and 2) I truly was honored to be asked to participate in the Relief Society meeting this way. It's a privilege to associate with the wonderful women in my ward and I am so glad I can contribute to the meetings they've organized for us.
