I’m so excited to tell you about my latest batch of freezer meals! I picked 36 of my favorite freezer recipes that feature ingredients in season right now (like apples, butternut squash, cabbage, carrots, and sweet potatoes) and made all of them in one sitting! I even went ahead and created meal plan calendars for the winter so we would know when to eat each meal for a variety of tastes, textures, and proteins.
Does this sound like an insane amount of organization? It was, but I’ve made so many freezer meals and meal plans in the past that it wasn’t that bad for me.
The best news? I packaged everything up into a “Winter Meal Plan,” so you can use the printable recipes, shopping lists, freezer meal labels, and calendars too!
Can you imagine not having to stress about cooking dinner for months?
It’s like healthy, homemade meals on auto-pilot!

What’s so great about these 36 freezer meals?
- None of the recipes require any cooking before freezing, so I was able to make all of them in less than 6 hours, including two breaks and cleaning up my kitchen at the end. (That’s an average of less than 10 minutes per meal!)
- I spent $375 on groceries, including organic meat ($10.42/meal with six servings).
- We’ve already tried every single recipe and they’re healthy and delicious!

is this included in the pro for a member?
Yes, you can search for winter meal plan 2020-01-05
When i search for that or even “winter meal plan” within the Pro recipe search there are no results.
It’s because the recipes are from a mix of cookbooks and my blog (all available in Pro though). Email me at [email protected] if you need a more specific link.
Interested in a Spring meal plan. Can we expect one?
No, I’m not planning one. I’m so sorry! They take so long to put together. Have you already used the fall and winter ones?
Yes. We really enjoyed the winter one so we just made it again.
