Freeze Ahead Meals

Freeze Ahead Meals

These recipes are handy to have on hand for busy nights, but they also are great to make if you're going on vacation – leaving the kids at home to fend for themselves – or for helping out a friend or family member during a difficult time. 

Freeze your prepared meals as soon as possible. Once the food has cooled, cover with lids or plastic food wrap and place directly into the freezer.   

Once items are in the freezer it is easy to lose track of them, remember to include the following information on anything you put into the freezer:
