Here are nine easy and healthy freezer meal prep sessions that I made myself.  I wrote the recipes, typed up the shopping lists, calculated the nutritional info, took photos of the cooked meals, and shared everything that I learned in life-changing, rock-your-world cookbook eBooks.  Then I stocked my freezer during weekend “prep sessions” with less than two hours and $150 – full details below!

9 Easy and Healthy Freezer Meal Prep Sessions That Will Rock Your WorldLet me stop for a minute and thank my cousin (Jill) for helping me write the recipes, my friend (Jana) for creating the shopping lists and nutritional info tables, and my husband (Andy) for designing the cookbook eBook covers and pretty designs.  I’m just a busy mom who likes to cook (and eat!).  I could never do all of this stuff myself.

What’s so great about these freezer prep sessions?

  1. There is NO COOKING ahead of time, so the meals are quick and easy to make. (I typically make 5-10 meals/hour.)
  2. They’re budget-friendly.  (Most meals cost about $10 for six servings.)
  3. The recipes are simple and healthy.

I made every single meal myself so I can vouch that they’re healthy, delicious, and easy to make.  Below, I’ll go through each prep session and tell you which recipes I made, how much they cost, and how much time they took to make.  I’ll also share what I love most about the meals.

Is it safe to mix raw meat and veggies in the freezer?  You bet.  I did a lot of research when I was writing my No Cook Freezer Meals cookbook and the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service explains that freezing food inactivates any microbes that are present (like bacteria, yeast, or mold).  That means freezing raw meat with vegetables, sauces, and spices is perfectly safe. (You can find more info on food safety here.) Enjoy, Friends!
