Focus on Powering a Chest Freezer Filled with Freezer Meals

We decided to make a batch of pantry can sized Thrive Macaroon Cookies for Thanksgiving: For some reason the dry batter was quite difficult to get out of the can but once we got it out (my kids helped) this is what it looked like: Yeah, a little clumpy but no big deal. The directions…
