Freezer Meals Round Up

Knowing that our home is about to be a little more chaotic I figured it would be a great time to stock up on some freezer meal recipes. I did not do this at all when Wynn was born, but this time around Rob will be gone a lot this winter coaching basketball. This also means that my DIY to do list will have to remain just a list until spring comes.  Here are some of the recipes I have literally thrown together and put in the freezer so far.  I'm looking forward to trying when the time comes. 

Please go to the direct link below each image to Pin these recipes. Thank you!!

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! I was so happy to make these, and hopefully since they can be eaten with one hand that means I'll eat when I am on maternity leave. These are actually pretty healthy too. Rob added Old Bay Seasoning to some of them just to give it a try. According to Rob, Old Bay Seasoning goes with everything!


I doubled this recipe so we could try it the day I made it for the freezer meals. I used ground turkey, and the cooking time was almost cut in half. It was one of maybe two meals I had to cook something before hand since it's not a crock pot meal. But it was definitely worth the effort and the glaze is delicious! 

I also ended up doubling this recipe and having it for dinner last week, and freezing the other half. It turned out great, and the rice was a great alternative to a tortilla or a taco shell for once.

I made five of these recipes as well. I'm excited to try out her sesame chicken recipe. That is one of my favorite dishes to get at a restaurant.

I created five meals from this list in a half an hour! I thought that it was super quick, and I'm excited to try some of these recipes out.  I really like that they involve the slow cooker too.

This is a really easy chicken parmesan recipe to put in your freezer meal stash.  These ladies also provide a lot of helpful tips and a ton of recipes on this page of their blog: Healthy Freezer Meals by Thriving Home Blog

Do you have a favorite freezer meal idea? I'd love to hear about it. I'm ready to add a few more to the little space I have left in my two freezers.

    I'm a big fan of freezer meals and crockpot meals! Pinning this to go through when I make my shopping list. You are so smart to do all of this ahead of time! You'll have more time to enjoy the babies and Wynn and hopefully rest a little!
