Katie Green of IN is our Freezer Cook of the Month for June.  She posted the following paragraph on the message boards, and I just loved it!  It seems to be typical of many families who aren't so sure about this new cooking thing we're trying out on them.  But then they see it isn't so bad after all! 

"Just wanted to report that I finally got to make this recipe and it was a huge hit. My son - originally very resistant to my freezer cooking plans - just RAVED about it and said it was his favorite meal of any I'd ever cooked. He then went on to say, "Of course, you've been confusing me a lot lately - I seem to feel that way about EVERY meal you make anymore!" "

When I contacted Katie to let her know she'd won, she told me that she'd been learning to freezer cook just from the website. So she is thrilled to have a new Manual as part of her prize!  Katie also had this to say...

I never would have imagined how much freezer cooking would change my life - I am so much more at peace and relaxed. My college-age son is my only child left at home after many years as a single mom. He has been virtually housebound this year due to some health problems, which has really been frustrating for him. When I started freezer cooking, he saw it as yet another frustration -- he was happy with the fast food rut we had fallen into due to my long hours at work (10 hour shifts).

I've never been much of a cook and at first I think he was skeptical that I could even make anything worth freezing. After he found out how much he liked the food I was making, I began to run into an unexpected problem -- getting him to leave the freezer meals alone until their designated serving day!! Now that we are several months into the program, we are both reaping a great deal of satisfaction from the system. It used to be a struggle to get him to even try meals that I prepared. Now he not only enjoys helping me prepare the food, but he actually TURNS THE TV OFF while we eat AT THE TABLE. !!!

I am so grateful to 30 Day Gourmet for showing me the way. And being a Freezer Cook of the Month is icing on the cake. 

Katie, we are proud of you for making 30 Day Gourmet's system work for you and your son!  That's what it's all about!  Congratulations, and enjoy your new manual!
