You make me long to become an efficient freezer meal “cooker”. I do well with a crock-pot, soups, stews, meals with a short list of ingredients but aside from a few extra chili or meatloaf meals, I have to admit that I just don’t take the time to plan this out to my advantage.

The ebook looks awesome and I know it’s something my family life/work balance could use.

Thanks Arika for having Susanne post and thanks Susanne for always giving out wonderful information.

We use a vacuum sealer for as many meals as possible because we can write on the plastic and include the date. Plus ’sometimes’ you can fit more in your freezer if you are one of those expert stackers and packers like I am.

BUT over the years we have definitely learned to rotate the meals. My many years in the food industry came in handy that way, so we didn’t have a lot of a problem with it. lol

Casseroles and soups have to be the number one meal pulled out of our freezer, hands-down.

Hi Judy,
I used to have the same problem… I’d have some great freezer dish deep down in my freezer and forget all about it. I now keep a little “Freezer Inventory Sheet”. It’s just a piece of paper with everything I have in the freezer along with the date when I made it.

When I add another freezer dish, I add it to the bottom of the list, when I take something out of the freezer, I cross it off the list.

It sounds like a good idea but I tend to forget what is in my freezer. Maybe I’m too disorganized.

Hi Arika and Susanne!

I am really enjoying traveling along with you, Susanne, on your Blog Tour. This is really an interesting topic for me. I’m what you might call a WAHG, a Work-At-Home-Grandma, and can relate to having a freezer full of food ready for whatever the day brings!

I’m feeling just like you are, Arika… now that summer’s over, it just feels right to stay in and cook up a storm for the freezer!

My hubby is working long hours these days so we hardly ever eat together anymore. But, I am cooking over at Nicole’s house quite a bit so we are going to dedicate one of these weekends to freezer cooking. Thanks for the informative freezer guide… I’m sure it will come in handy very soon!

Thanks so much for this awesome post Susanne. I actually want to get into freezer cooking more and now that the summer if over and theirs more time for me I think I will start!

Friday’s tend to be my down days workwise. Babygirl and I are home just the two of us so I think Fridays will be perfect for this.

Karen,

Ah yes, the more kids you have the more freezer cooking is definitely a plus!

I do some freezing but my daughter does this all the time. Before her second child was born she made up several freezer meals. It really helped out.
