📕 Get the full cookbook - The Lunch Lady's $3,600-a-Year Grocery Cut (175 recipes & tricks, scaled for 1, 2, or a family, $27): http://dorislunchlady.com/ In the winter of 1971, with my mother in the hospital, a neighbor named Edna Collier came up our back steps with two pans of chicken and rice frozen hard as creek ice. She put one in our chest freezer, slid the second one under it, and told me, fifteen and in charge of four little ones, that the second pan was not for us. I am Mrs. Doris, a retired school lunch lady from southern Ohio, and these are twenty-two dinners that lived in a seventies deep freeze: sausage from hog-killing weekend, shelly beans, ham loaf, stewed hen, the raffle turkey in March, cabbage rolls the freezer started, morels in pint cartons, chicken croquettes, the funeral noodle bake, pork chops from the locker plant in town, Scottish meat pies, bluegill frozen in milk cartons, and the pan nobody in our family ever ate from. 👇 TELL ME IN THE COMMENTS: what was the one dish your mother kept in the freezer that nobody in the family was allowed to touch? #freezermeals #nostalgia #lunchlady
