Forget about freezing leftover soup and chili, here are 21 delicious recipes that you can freeze without any cooking ahead of time!  I’ve compiled a list of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even dessert recipes that you can prepare in a matter of minutes.  Simply combine the ingredients and freeze!

21 Delicious Recipes That You Can Freeze Without Any Cooking Ahead Of Time

Here’s what’s awesome about these “no-cook” freezer recipes:

  • They don’t require any cooking ahead of time so they’re super quick and easy to prep.
  • They cook for the first time out of the freezer, they don’t taste like leftovers at all.
  • You can take advantage of sales at the grocery store and stock your freezer with healthy food at a fraction of the cost.

What I really love about these simple freezer recipes is that they make it so easy to feed my family.   I can grab something from my freezer and read, workout, or play with my kids instead.

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while now then you know that the idea of “no-cook” freezer meals inspired my three cookbooks.  I’m excited to share 21 more delicious ideas below.  Enjoy!

There a lot of great ideas here! I think the oatmeal recipe should be put into an 8 oz. jar though since it would not even fit in a 4 oz one.

Lol, doing my chicken dinner prepping this morning. Using the 10 fruit and chicken chart, you put out not long ago for summer. Also going to do the 10 veggies and chicken chart from awhile back.
I love, love, love all of your books and they have been a real savor to me. Thank-you for taking the time to write and share with us.
Also, I would love to get for my niece. Do you offer in nook or Kindle format.
