Tips:
• Store freezer meals in freezer bags whenever possible. They are cheaper and take up less room. Freezer bags are great for storing soups, marinades, taco fillings, and crockpot dinners.
• When freezing meals, smooth out the soups or fillings in the bags so they will freeze flat. This makes for more efficient storing.
• Undercook pastas such as lasagna noodles. They will soften as the defrost and then bake in the oven.
• Marinades are a great choice for freezer meals. Simply freeze meat in the marinade, and when thawed and then cooked the meat is tender, flavorful, and fresh.
• Add fresh ingredients to freezer meals whenever possible. Freeze shredded chicken or other taco fillings, then make into fresh taco salads. Add fresh breadcrumbs to frozen casseroles just before baking.The entire meal doesn’t need to be frozen…just the hard part.
• When cooking a recipe that freezes well, always double it…one to use now, and one to store in the freezer for later. This is an easy to build up a supply of freezer meals.
And now…the part you have been waiting for: the recipes! These recipes and many other healthy freezer meals can be found in my new cookbook Healthy Eating The Happy Gal Way (click here to learn more about my cookbook.)
