Batch Cooking Freezer Meals
Imagine enjoying home-cooked, healthy, and delicious meals at your convenience. Whenever you plan to prepare a meal, consider doubling or tripling your recipe. This approach not only saves time but can also lead to cost savings over time. Bulk cooking is a time-honored practice, with roots tracing back to ancient civilizations that efficiently fed large groups.
For instance, just yesterday, I prepared a meal featuring turkey, ham, stuffing, and green beans as a side dish, all intended for my home-cooked freezer meals. These dishes will be ideal for the holidays or any day when you want to simplify meal preparation.
You can customize your meals based on your family's preferences. Once prepared, portion the food into freezer-safe containers. Opt for microwave-safe containers for easy reheating, or use aluminum foil pans, which are also effective for this purpose.
Have fun with the process, then sit back and enjoy the time you saved yourself from having to prep and prepare meals daily.
