Freezer Cooking

Freezer cooking is a great way to save money and time! If you aren’t familiar with the concept, it means freezing fresh ingredients together in a container or plastic freezer baggie. Then you pull them out the day of and throw them in the oven or the slow cooker. It’s a totally genius idea! 

One perfect time to use freezer cooking is before you are about to have a baby. When I was prepping for Hadassah’s birth, I made so many freezer meals so that I could just pop them out for dinner! No cooking required! If you make the freezer meals large enough you can even have a portion left over for lunch the following day. 

Chicken, beef and pork all work great in freezer meals. So do most vegetables and fruits. You can make freezer meals with grains and beans too! I love things like enchiladas, chicken pot pie and black bean burgers for freezer meal options.

This recipe is so simple, I almost feel silly posting it. but the fact is, it’s been a phenomenal time saver for me. I’ve become slightly obsessed with weekly food prep where you prepare a bunch of components for meals several days (or a week) ahead of time, and store them in the fridge. Have you Keep Reading

Homemade Slow Cooker chicken Broth

Freezer Pickles

Until a few weeks ago, I’d never heard of freezing pickles, and when I did, it sounded like a terrible idea. Some of the recipe notes, and descriptions in the pickle-making book that Gabriel swiped from his parent’s house earlier this year intrigued me though, so one day, on one of those rare Keep Reading

Oh, was I supposed to be prepping for baby? Oops, I forgot. Not really.

Early this week, I came down sick with some sort of stomach virus and wasn’t sure I’d be able to get normal chores done, to say nothing of the extra cooking and rearranging I wanted to do. I simply cannot believe how in one day - one day - of being too sick to get out of bed much, the house can Keep Reading

This January, when Gabriel and I sat down to kind of map out what we wanted to get done this year, one of the items on my list was to have 50 meals in the freezer by July first, preparatory to having a new baby in the house.
