Party #13

Its crazy to think we've had 13 freezer meal cooking parties so far! We have so much fun and love having a stocked freezer full of yummy meals!
This past meal was a 'grilling theme' and a lot of us had the same idea on using pork for a change! We don't use pork much for the traditional meals because the cost can add up fast when you have a lot of additional ingerdients, but this was the chance to use it!
We had one repeat "Mindy's Chicken BBQ Packets."

Our next party is in July and our theme is to "make a recipe you've never tried before!" Should be a good one!

We'd love to hear your feedback if you've tried any of our recipes, just leave us your thoughts in the comment section!
Stay tuned for lots more recipes!
