With Spring events and sports getting started, having dinner prepped and ready to go can be challenging. Having a freezer with delicious meals prepped and ready to serve with minimal preparation can help manage your time and money.

Join us on March 22 at either 2 pm or 6 pm for a Cooking from the Freezer program. Cost is $20 and includes handouts, recipes, and the option to take home one meal already prepared to either go into your freezer or onto the dinner table.
