10 Stress-Free Freezer Meals // Large Family Friendly

After my first baby was born (a mere 15 years ago!), I was completely overwhelmed caring for her ... and this only intensified as I prepared to return to work part-time. I remember thinking, "How am I going to manage making meals on top of everything else?". I didn't want to turn to convenience foods for a number of reasons (cost, nutrition). I sat down at my kitchen table (while bouncing a sweet, but needy baby) and split up my homemaking tasks throughout the week -- much like Ma Ingalls 😉 or modern day At Home Plain and Simple. Designating a chunk of time each week to knock out kitchen tasks helped me immensely, and continues to today!
Are you in a season of overwhelm? Come along with me as we make 10 healthy meals in under 2 hours. Anyone can make these!

Try the ginger in the squeeze bottles in Aldi’s spice section. Better ginger flavor than ground, anyway!

@@SometimesMyself I will! Thanks 👍

You didn’t share the ingredients you used. Looks amazing but I was lost.

It looked good. Next time, please tell us what ingredients you are putting in. We didn't get to see any of the soup or sloppy joes being made. I do love freezer meals. Very convenient.

[@kellyjobloedel]

@@sherryruddell3588 Yes, I will! Great suggestion. Freezer meals are so helpful for busy seasons!

Zoodles are delicious, and you can combine them with yellow squash "squoodles." Don't overcook; just 45 seconds to a minute will do. A little butter and olive oil, some seasonings. Yum!

[@kellyjobloedel]

Oh great! What do you use to get the right shape? Food processor attachment?

[@lisamccoy4216]

I use a Veggetti spiralizer, which is pretty inexpensive at WMart. Great also for curly fries, cucumber ribbons, and more.

@@lisamccoy4216 Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this encouragement and idea! I plan to add some freezer meals to our freezer during the month of April!
