TIPS FOR PLANNING A FREEZER COOKING DAY

START SMALL AND BE REALISTIC. Your first freezer cooking session shouldn’t include 30 new-to-you meals. Think about it – that’s a whole month’s worth of dinner! 

1

BE INTENTIONAL WITH INGREDIENTS. Recipes should be similar enough where ingredients overlap so you can buy in bulk and save money.

2

CHOOSE RECIPES YOU KNOW YOUR FAMILY LIKES. Doubling and tripling is the name of the freezer cooking game and rule #1 of not wasting food is to NEVER make extras of a new recipe.

3

CHOOSE RECIPES/MEALS THAT WILL BENEFIT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MOST.

4

WRITE A VERY COMPREHENSIVE GROCERY LIST. Take the time to write a really, really, REALLY good shopping list.

5

WRITE A COMPREHENSIVE SUPPLY LIST. Make a master list, and then look at it as you walk through what you’re cooking that day to make sure you have enough pots and pans or dishes.
