I decided to branch out last month and try making some new freezer meal recipes. I love my "fall-backs" but variety is always good too. More often than not, I end up being pleasantly surprised as was the case with this meal. The kids seemed to enjoy it (I think they can sense peanut butter from a mile away...) and I found it incredibly tasteful as well.
