Cooking Instructions - Summer 2010 Menu

When thawing freezer bags be sure to place them in a bowl or baking dish in the fridge in case of leakage. If you forget to thaw you can thaw in the microwave or increase the cooking time by about 25 minutes for the foil pans. If bag contains sauce mixture rinse with a little water to get everything out. Some meals will take up to 2 days to completely thaw. Contact Jackie if you have any questions 780-479-8175.
