Freezer meal group

I recently found out about a group of mom's who belong to a freezer meal group. After asking about the details of the group I was invited to join. I did my first month last week and it was fun! I made 8 9x13 freezer meals and went to the exchange and came home with 8 different meals for the month of June. My meal was pork chops with scalloped potatoes. We ate ours for Sunday dinner and it was ok. I would make some changes, but for my first time it was ok. I love the idea and have really enjoyed pulling a meal out of the freezer on the mornings we are very busy and having a good dinner. July will be BBQ month, so we'll have marinated and sauced meats to pull out and throw on the grill. Thanks ladies for letting me in!

Cool! I have been doing this with a group of 4 ladies out here for 3 months now. How did your fozen potatoes turn out? Did you use fresh potatoes to begin with or did you use frozen? Everything that I have read about freezer meals and fresh potaotes say that they don't mix. All the recipies that I have for freezer meals calls for the use of pre-packeage frozen potatoes.

My good friend, Deb Buxton SIL has a couiple of books and a website on freezer meals. "What's for Dinner" is the book (I think).

I think that's the book I used. I used boxed scalloped potatoes because they have been dehydrated and worked ok. I think it was a little soupy when we cooked it, so I would reduce the liquid even further. We'll have to trade recipes. So what have you made?

The book is actually called Dinner is ready by Deanna Buxton. I will send you the recipies that we have done.
