Make meal-time simple with these delicious and nutritious recipes.
When life gets busy, finding time to make healthy meals for you and your family is tough. Que the freezer meals – the easiest way to guarantee a wholesome breakfast, lunch or dinner for the entire household! Clear an afternoon and grab the plastic bags and glass containers, we got some preppin’ to do!
Hey gang! I’ve rounded up my FAVORITE freezer-friendly meals that I know you’ll love. Whether you’re welcoming a new baby into the fam or just need to be able to get home from work and get dinner on the table, all of these meals will do the trick!
I’ve personally made each and every one of these recipes, so I guarantee they’re good! 😋
In fact, I had two of my preggo friends over a few weeks ago for a freezer meal prep to get them ready for #momlife. It was so easy and a lot of fun!
Nothing has been more satisfying than not having to take an hour to get dinner ready at night. And to top it off, when I was out of town a couple weeks ago, Nick had something to eat – I mean putting a bag into the crockpot is not rocket science! 😂
And I know what you’re probably thinking. You don’t have time to make one meal, let alone 8. No problem, pick one or two meals from the list and make a double batch. Viola 4 meals. It’s that easy!
How long do freezer meals last?
Typically a meal can last up to 3 – 6 months in the freezer, if it’s sealed properly. I find glass containers work best, but for things like soups and stews freezer plastic bags work well too.
If you want to get fancy, you can use these plastic bag holders.
Do you cook freezer meals before freezing?
It depends. Most recipes can be cooked before freezing, especially if you want the heat up process to be quicker. For example, the Skinny Creamy Chicken Enchiladas can be baked before freezing, then you can just thaw them out and microwave when you’re ready to eat. Same with the Breakfast Burritos. Soups on the other hand are generally better cooked after freezing.
Alright, let’s get to the good stuff.
