Beginner’s Freezer Meal 101

https://aileencooks.com/beginners-guide-planning-freezer-cooking-day/

Aileen has put together an excellent guide for people who are new to freezer meals. I will be honest, it can be overwhelming at first. Where to start? What equipment do I need? Where do I find recipes?

All that is easy. 1. Look at what you (and your family) like. What cuisines are your favorite? What is your schedule? 2. Once you answered those questions then set a day aside. You will need at least two days actually. One for inventory what you have and need. The second to do the cooking and assembling. 3. As for recipes, just use the ones you (and your family) likes. Then you have two options. One you can take a day or you can double or triple your recipe and freeze the other half. 4. Special equipment. You probably already have a lot of it. Zip lock bags, a sharpie pen for labeling, or you could use casserole dishes which are freezer friendly. Aluminum foil and pans. Plastic wrap and parchment (or waxed) paper.

Walmart has some nice freezing pans which are divided and undivided. They are under ten dollars. There’s nice bento boxes on Amazon. They also have some nice glass bowls. Just remember when you use glass you CANNOT take them from the freezer to the oven. Little expensive but you only pay once.

Alieen does have an excellent site with a variety of recipes.

Hello y'all! I have hit a point in my life that I miss the simple dishes and times that my parents grew up in. People were kind to each other and the food was homemade from scratch. Before convince food was everywhere. Oh, those were the days... Let's reclaim them and start cooking from scratch again.
