I do some freezer cooking, usually either lasagne and chili, but I also freeze stuff from my garden. I would love to try cooking a month’s worth of meals at a time as I often get distracted by the kids’ activities and find myself short of time when it comes to getting a good dinner on the table,

I just started doing some freezer cooking last week. So far, I really enjoy it! I have always kept a freezer filled with ingredients – meat, vegetables, etc., but now, I am trading my ingredient space for finished goods. Since this is our second year homeschooling three children, I believe this method will truly rescue dinner (and maybe mom’s stress level!) Thanks for this opportunity!

I have not done a true freezer meal plan for 2 or more weeks. What I have done is make an extra large batch of a few things, not eating any for leftovers! My favorite is Roast Beef Burritos. I freeze the burritos separate from the cheese and sauce, so if hubby needs something for work he can grab a couple burritos to go. Thanks for all your helpful ideas!

Yes. Here is the recipie or the concept…it came from a Pamperd Chef lady…you put frozen chicken pieces (I have used boneless skinless tenders) into a gallon freezer bag, then pick your one bottle of salad dressing or BBQ sauce or bottle of marinade from your pantry (I like Ranch dressing or Honey Mustard dressing and BBQ sauce) and pour it into the freezer bag that has the frozen chicken in it and put in freezer. The night before you are ready to have this for dinner, take it out of the freezer and put in the frig. The next day, at dinner time, take it out of the frig and put it in a pan and bake it in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes (more time for a larger amount of food, use your thermometer to ensure it’s done).

I have not tried freezer cooking, and have in fact just become aware of it! I am a homeschooling mother of 5, and am admittedly late boarding the Organized Train, but at least I’m on now!!! I thank God for you and your willingness to pour into others. Blessings on you and your home!

I am interested in doing freezer cooking. I have started working, and have found that it is harder to have the energy to make food for supper after being gone all day. Also, new dietary restrictions have made it more of a challenge. I have been freezing cookies but need something healthy in the freezer too!

I would love to try once a month cooking, but question how much freezer space would be required to cook for a family of 8.

Yes, I have tried “freezer cooking” – after a fashion. When I was a child Mama and my grandma would prepare and freeze ahead foods they would contribute to a funeral dinner at church, so that if there was short notice they could still take something. They usually did beef roasts and pound cake.
My family raves over my lasagna, but it’s not worth messing up the kitchen to make just one meal. I get those disposable cookware pans and freeze at least 6 pans when I’m putting together a lasagna meal (2 pans per meal at my house). I also have done chicken casserole in the freezer.
I bake cornbread and wheat bread ahead for ingredients in dressing for Thanksgiving, then crumble, toast, & freeze, and they are ready to go straight into the dressing. I have also precooked the celery & onion in butter and frozen it for dressing ingredients.
I would love to win the ebook – please pick me!

I have not tried OAM cooking though I have heard of it a long time ago. I dread the cooking day but it would be nice to have meals ready in the freezer. Homeschooling the last year or so has been such that I need meals ready-to-go so I can finish school without dreading meal prep time and a late supper.
