Just tried two sessions of 4 hour freezer cooking and love it. As far as the Do Not Freeze list I found a few things we successfully freeze – most notably green peppers. We chop and freeze them and sauté them as if fresh. Also have frozen them whole (seeded of course) to use for stuffed peppers.

In reply to joshlyn. I know exactly what you mean about not always having the time to fix a meal -- and I really dislike having to resort to fast food. It's not so great for your health or your budget!

Hi Kalyn, when I first tried out the freezer meals I think I did about 10 meals 3 different recipes. It really helps out. I work full time so this helps when I just don’t have the time to fix a meal. I’m hoping to get a better variety of tasty recipes so my family of five doesn’t get bored. I have to step my game up to making a whole month worth of meals.

In reply to Audy. Wow, that is a big family! But it sounds like Freezer Cooking could really help you out and relieve some of that meal-time stress for sure.

Oh, I am excited. Nothing really has worked for me as I am not a first born. I make 2 of a few things but know I need to do more. This sounds up my alley. My only concern is that I am a family of almost 7!!!

Good for you! Like you, I feel like the only way I’m making things from scratch is if I do a lot of freezer cooking, but it’s one of the reasons I love it so much, and I hope you enjoy it too!

Also, thank you for letting me know about that link. All fixed now. 🙂

Kalyn,
I just started reading you blog because I am now officially a stay at home mom, and I decided some life style changes were in order! like healthy living so I’ve been hitting the gym and making every meal from scratch! which can be a lot of work and super expensive!!! So, push came to shove, and freezing cooking is the answer! I think… anyway, I thought you should know that your link to follow you on pinterest does not work. It takes you to a URL that is Pinterest/kalynbrook/freezercooking which I guess doesn’t exist? I had to find you by looking up freezer cooking boards and then scrolling through them to find you! anyhow, your actual URL is pinterest/creativesavings/freezercooking. Thanks again for the great advise! I am still reading through it all to get started! 😀

In reply to Elizabeth @ DogFurandDandelions. I honestly didn't think it would work either, but thankfully, I have a husband who loves leftovers! I also make smaller serving sizes for each recipe, which helps too.

You mentioned all the reasons I haven’t tried intentional freezer cooking yet – only 2 of us, freezing leftovers, splitting desserts, etc. But if it works well for you guys (and saves money!) then maybe I’ll finally give it a try. Looking forward to the rest of this series!

In reply to Carrie. It's especially nice on those nights when you have no idea what to make for dinner! :)
