Frozen with Love is a video class produced to help the leader who would be in charge of hosting a homemaking class about Freezer Meals.   Of course an individual could also learn about Freezer meals by watching this video too. 

When showing the video to a class or group of people it saves the leader preparation time and saves money because you don’t have to purchase supplies to demonstrate and teach the class.   First let me explain the flow of the class and then afterwards I will help the leader prepare to hold the class.

Start the Class by Serving a Hot Drink

We start the Frozen with Love class by having the participants pick up a hot Caramel Apple Spice Drink and take it onto the class.

This recipe is similar to the Caramel Apple Spice Drink that Starbucks offers on their menu.  If you don’t want to make the Cinnamon Dolce Syrup you can buy a 1 liter container of syrup at Starbucks, they also offer the syrup in a sugar free version.  I usually buy one sugar free syrup so we can make the participants with diabetes a special drink.

Give Participants a Handout

As the participants go into class with their hot Apple Spice Drink give them a copy of the handout.  This handout has 7 pages and follows along with the video class.   To learn more about the handout click below to read more.

Start the Video Class 

The video class lasts 39 minutes.  We usually put the Freezer Apple Crisp recipe into bake while the video is playing.  The wonderful smell fills the air around the time we are talking about making recipes at harvest time, which is also when we demonstrate how to make the Apple Crisp.   If you don’t want to make apple crisp another suggestion is to make heart shaped cookies to pass out at the end of the class while we are talking about giving freezer meals for service.   These refreshments were planned so that participants would feel a part of the video class.

The Video Class Teaches:

1. Making freezer meals saves time and money.  One idea that we introduce is using some dehydrated ingredients and buying ingredients in bulk.
2. How to pick the right freezer recipe.  We also discuss a popular subject about making freezer meals that can be thrown into the slow cooker.  We talk about preparing the food property and discuss blanching or buying vegetables that are already frozen.
3. Some recipes call for canned vegetables but we teach to leave those items in the food storage until cooking day in case the power goes out and you lose  your freezer meals.
4. Learn how to package freezer meals to have a longer freezer life.  We also teach about the Foodsaver and give demonstrations. We show how to freeze a soup with a Foodsaver.
5. Label the bag or container the meal is to be frozen in.
6. We discuss making recipes ahead of time for a large group 1) You can make extras a couple of days before the meal and then leftovers can be frozen.  or 2) you can make the recipe months ahead of time, freeze it and then the day before the meal thaw the recipe.
7. Making freezer recipes at harvest time.
8. We talk about giving service by giving freezer meals to people in need.
