Coming Back

So now that I have finally gone through my freezer meals (yes I did just eat one the other day from our first meeting over a year ago and it was still good) I am ready to make some more. The only thing is that I have a hard enough time figuring our what to make my own family for dinner otherwise other peoples. So I am asking for suggestions.... Can you remember any meals that your family loved and I can make again? I just want to make something that everyone is going to enjoy. Thanks I am excited join the group again.

New Recruits

Thanks to those that participated in our February Meal Swap. We are small in number but the food is still good.

I was wondering if anyone has any good ideas in how to get more people to participate. With the new year we seemed to lose quite a few people. How do we get them back or get new people to participate?

In the mean time, if you are interested in participating in the next meal exchange then please sign up by Feb. 27th. The March meal exchange will be held on Monday March 12th at 10:30am at my house. Please bring your meals frozen and ready to exchange. And as always, is you can't make the date then just make arrangements with someone to bring your meals for you. That is totally fine. We've done that before.

Thanks
