On nights when you are busy, having a freezer meal ready to go is one of the best ways to feed you and your family. So, to help you get ready for your week, I have 10 easy freezer meal recipes for you to try, from breakfast burritos to meatless shepherd’s pie.
Freezer meals are simply meals you prep and cook in advance, stick in the freezer, and pull out to reheat when you need them. They are simple, healthy, and help you save money.
If you’ve never made freezer meals before, here are a few tips:
- Batch cook several meals at once.
- Label your meals with reheating directions.
- Use freezer quality bags so your food doesn’t get freezer burn.
- Make a list of what freezer meals you have and put it on your fridge or somewhere else that’s easy to see.
Trust me, these meals are nothing like the frozen dinners you would buy from the store – home cooked always tastes better (the from scratch Hot Pockets on this list look delicious!).
And, one of the best things about these easy freezer meal recipes is that you can save a lot of money on your monthly food budget. You will be less likely to get fast food or take out when you know that you have a delicious meal at home that you just need to pop in the oven or microwave.

I had a power outage in my neighborhood the other day. I had scallops and lump crab in the freezer hoping it wouldn’t go bed. Thankfully, the power came back on and I should stock up more on freezer meals. 🙂

I love having easy heat and eat meals in the freezer for those busy days or when I just don’t feel like cooking. I will have to give some of these a try, see what my family thinks of them and stock my freezer if they enjoy them.

These type of meal prep and frozen meals is what really allowed me to dial in on what my body requires to gain and lose weight. Friends of mines get bored of eating the same thing every meal but it gives you a really good idea as you add and subtract things what each item does to your weight and quality of life. It all starts with having something prepared so that you can stay consistent when you’re lacking the time, energy or creativity to make something which generally results in ordering out.
Oh and it saves time and money! Even better!
