From Melanie of Motherhood Apologia:

The roundup will take place here next Thursday, October 18. Simply post your recipe on your blog then come over and provide a link with Mr. Linkey. If you have a recipe you want to share but no blog, leave a message in the comments box and I gladly post your recipe on the front page of my blog.

The category for this month’s round up? Freezer recipes!

Please share any recipe that freezes well. It can be something that easily doubles so you can freeze the leftovers for a busy day or something that provides a base for the quick assembly of a meal. The options are wide open here, so please share what you make to store up in the freezer for another time.
