Freezer Meal Club

Anyone interested in being in the freezer meal club?

What is it you may ask?

- 4 participants that want a months worth of meals in their freezer for an average of $7 per meal

How does it work?

- participants plan menu usually through email

-each participant chooses 4 recipes that are "all in one" entrees that your family loves

-shop and prepare your recipes at your own home at your own convenience in disposable foil pans with cooking directions, that are ready to stick in the oven straight from freezer/frig (you prepare 4 of each recipe, one for each participant)

-meet for the swap at a central location, which only takes 15 minutes, leaving with 16 meals for your freezer with directions on how to cook

Fun-To-Make Kid Cakes

Fun-To-Make Kid Cakes
Ingredients:
• Your favorite flavor cake mix
• 1 container ready-made frosting
• 2 bags of Nestle chocolate chips (any kind made with cocoa butter.)
• 1/2 tsp vegetable or canola oil
• Candy sprinkles
Bake the cake according to package directions. Cool and crumble the
baked cake into a big bowl.
Add a container of ready-made frosting.
Mix well until a sticky batter forms.
Refrigerate until the mixture is stiff enough to roll into balls.
Roll the cake mixture into teaspoon-sized balls and freeze.
About an hour or so later (or whenever you get around to it) melt
chocolate in a microwavable bowl, 20 seconds at a time, then 10 seconds
as it starts to melt. Add the little bit of vegetable oil to keep a silky smooth
consistency. Dip each ball into the chocolate and place on wax paper.
Optional: add some sprinkles at this point before chocolate hardens.
Freeze the coated cake balls to set. They are great frozen or serve at room
temperature. These are great to make ahead for a party and freeze.
