    How does it work?

    This is a great way to try new recipes, share meals, and simplify your meal prep. Each person will prepare one meal for the total number of people signed up (no more than 8). At our meet-up, we’ll swap meals, so you’ll leave with multiple freezer-ready dishes to cook whenever you need!

    We'll finalize the participant list, vote on recipes, and then get cooking! Register early to ensure your spot and help us finalize the list.

    Head to our Facebook group to get your assigned recipe and check out all the details: Join the Freezer Meal Club Here!

    Let’s get cooking and make meal prep easier together!
