Dedication

This book is dedicated to Stuart, Kelsey, Ian, and Shannon, who put up with endless new recipes and freezer experiments. You, my loving family, provided tireless support and encouragement, and you also allowed me the time to write, study, maintain Web pages, answer email, and cook.

Thank you!

My deepest appreciation to:

DadYou gave me the computer, which ultimately led to writing this book. How can I thank you enough?

Brook N.You believed in this project as much as I did. Thanks for your encouragement and editing.

Vicki M.Thanks for suggesting a freezer-meal discussion and planting the seeds in my mind for this book.

Di J. and Chris S.Your neighborliness (and the use of your large stockpots!) made much of this possible.

Lisa M., Evelyn S., Karen S., Catherine L., and Barb M.Your friendship, prayers, and faith in me never wavered.

Leon F.You always had a moment to share your experience and practical knowledge with a new writer.

Steven G.From your example, I learned to run an effective email discussion group.
