Freezer Meals!








Thanks to Ginny Babbitt for putting together a wonderful Sat morning for us ladies!
We put together a freezer meal...yummy lasagna for our families and it was easy too!
We went home to put it in our freezer and when we are ready to use it, we pull it out in the morning to thaw, and then pop it in the oven to cook! They turned out so yummy...an instant hit in our home!
Ginny even put together other yummy recipes, and tips for making freezer meals.
Thanks so much for all your research and hard work that day! Extra copies of the recipes and tips at church!
