34 Freezer Meal Ideas for Busy Families

May 21, 2015 by jlpenner 10 Comments

34-freezer-meals2

Freezer meals always make life SO easy on the days you can pull one out.

No fussing with chopping and ingredients, just a hot meal on the table in minutes.  Some people liek to spend a few hours putting together a bunch of meals, which is a great plan.  But I often don’t have those few hours to set aside.

So I have a little “short cut”.  When you regularly make dinner double or triple the recipe.  Serve your meal as usual that night and then pack up the leftovers in freezer safe bags or containers for other nights.  If you do this consistently you will have a large stash of freezer meals with very little extra effort or time.

Just make sure to label meals with the dinner name and the date and you are all set!

    Thank you so much for this information! My spouse and I usually don`t have the chance to eat dinner together so it`s great to have meals in the freezer that are so readily available. I thank you also for the low cost of these meals.
