I love baking and cooking with a freshly opened package of brown sugar. I love packing it tightly into a measuring up and that oh-so-satisfying feeling I get when it flips out, perfectly molded, like sand for a sand castle.

This week I've been sharing my first-ever freezer meal party — a small get-together where we cooked and assembled meals for our freezers. It was a totally fun and worthwhile way to spend an afternoon, but as it was my first time coordinating the many moving pieces, it certainly took longer than I expected!
To improve my next meal party, I turned to Stephanie Eakins, who runs freezer meal parties as part of her business, The Retro Dinner Diva. Here's a little more about Stephanie, her business, and five of her best tips for a successful meal-assembly party.

The messages and news missives we've received over the past several years seem unequivocal: grain-fed beef, bad; grass-fed beef, good.

Growing up in Southern California, I consider tacos to be a weekly standard. With taco kits, Taco Tuesday has never came together so easily! Prep a favorite taco filling — like this seasoned ground beef — and bag it up for freezing. Store it together with a bag of cheese and a packet of tortillas and dinner is ready in five minutes whenever you like.
