We all have those nights when the idea of making dinner makes you feel like running away. Having something relatively healthy that I can defrost and serve is my savior!

Why Freezer Meals

While having the store bought frozen foods are convenient and perfect sometimes, they are often filled with extra salt and oils that weigh us down if we eat them too often.

Having homemade options are important, but cooking every night is just SO draining. Which is why I love freezing my recipes for easy grab and defrost!

How to freeze recipes

The easiest way to make and have freezer meals is to make them while preparing dinner. Finding recipes that can easily be doubled, so you can freeze half and eat half immediately, is key.

Some things that work well for this are:

  • Soups
  • Burgers
  • Casseroles
  • Baked goods
  • Dips
  • Sauces

While almost anything can be frozen, you need to make sure you are freezing them correctly to avoid things like freezer burn and affecting the flavor of the recipe.

How to package frozen meals

In order to preserve the freshness of the recipe, you need to make sure to package it well. Here is are some thing I do:

  • Make sure to allow it to cool completely.
  • Use plastic wrap to tightly wrap the food, and even place it directly on top of things like sauces and dips.
  • Wrap another layer over it using foil.
  • Place the entire thing in an airtight container, if not in one already, or place in a freezer bag.
  • Label the recipe with what it is and when you froze it. I like to use a label maker.

If you want to buy a label maker this one is the one I use:
