Perhaps my expectations were too high. The recipes look good and they will probably be ones that my family will like. But why do I hesitate to spend a weekend making and preparing meals to freeze? Because most of them are covered with sauce and require defrosting. When I saw the title of this book I thought it would be a big timesaver–going from freezer to the oven. But my thinking is: if I have to plan time for defrosting…I might as well make it the same day and eat it right away. Why waste another day preparing (not to mention extra time bagging and/or finding containers for food)when it will only take as much time (or more) to defrost it as it did to prepare it???

Can’t wait to try the recipes…my daughter is going to be living off campus at college this semester and along with making meals for myself and husband I’ll be making some for her. This cookbook will be perfect.
