Freezer Meals
Cooking & enjoying food can be satisfying & even comforting. Answering, “What’s for dinner?” … not so much. Join Kellie Jordan, Food Safety Instructor with the MSU Extension Office, for an evening of instruction on freezer meals. Discover how to plan for busy (or even lazy) evenings with make-ahead meals that freeze safely & reheat easily.
