Recipe Help

Sometimes finding recipes to freeze is tricky. Here's our four-step method to help get you on your way:

1. SEARCH
Use your library, used bookstores, and garage sales to find used cookbooks for cheap. Also look for Taste of Home or Simple & Delicious back issues.

2. SINGLE OUT
On a post-it note stuck to the cover of your cookbook, write the name and page number of recipes that seem good to try.

3. SELECT
Narrow down recipes based on what's on sale, budget, and what will freeze well.

4. SAVE
Save only the recipes your family likes in a database, index card, filing system, etc whatever is easiest for you.

If recipe selection still is overwhelming, feel free to use our services for tried and true meals that freeze well and are delicious.

Freezer Tip:

As we freeze meals, we label each container with the name of the dish as well as the cooking instructions so that we don't have to hunt for the receipes. You can write directly on the aluminum foil or add a label to a tupperware container.

Our Story

As two kitchen-lost moms, we had trouble preparing food for our busy families. After researching lots of options, nothing looked appealing. So, through trial and error, we have come up with a solution that virtually anyone can use, and our business, Friendship Foods was born. Basically, we offer cooking classes, consultations, and assistance for anyone in the kitchen.

Our program allows you to cook quick, economical, and healthy meals on a budget for your family. Together, we can teach you how to cook a week or more worth of meals in just under two hours. We have been cooking for over three years and enjoy working with a variety of people, including people with special dietary needs. We have worked hard to provide all of this without sacrificing quality, taste, or variety.

Keep checking back for our favorite recipes and upcoming events. Our next class will be taught through the Neighborhood Connection, but we are available for private consultations as well, just drop us a line!
