Freezer Recipes

In trying to simplify our lives with three young children, one of the best things I've discovered is freezer meals. One day a week I'll cook 4 or 5 meals and freeze them in our chest freezer for later use. After a month of doing this, I accumulate approximately 20 meals I can pull from!  Some of you have been asking me for my favorite freezer meal recipes, so I decided I'd start posting some of them. I'll start by posting one or two of them a week, and I'll label them "Freezer Recipes" so you can find them on the sidebar too. Not everything freezes well, so when I find one that does, it's like gold to me!  Meal preparation is such a large part of my job, and I also used to find it to be one of the most stressful times of the day - especially with a crying baby and cranky children in tow. Being able to plan ahead and just pull a meal from the chest freezer has really helped ease the anxiety. I also think it has helped us budget better and eat healthier. It's meal planning at a whole new level!
