Freezer Meals

In today's busy world, there's not always time to make a scrumptious meal for yourself or family. Instead of always turning to pre-packaged, processed food, make a plan to stock your freezer with precooked meals. Some ladies I know spend an entire day making freezer meals, but I've never had that kind of time or energy. Here's a few ideas I've found manageable:

~Pull out an extra pound of meat (beef, turkey, chicken, pork, whatever) when preparing a meal... cook and season all the meat, setting aside half to cool and freeze. With hardly any extra effort, you now have a pound of already cooked meat ready for a future meal. Tip: Write what seasoning you used and the date cooked so you'll remember!


~Making meat loaf or a casserole? Why not make two?! This may take an extra 10-20 minutes, depending upon the meal, but you can eat one and freeze the other. Tip: You can either bake both meals that day or put the uncooked meal directly into


~Don't like left overs? Place them in single serving sized plastic freezer bags or containers and store them in the freezer for a rainy day!
