Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen meat from my freezer in these recipes?
Yes! Add the meat to the bags frozen or wait to add it the day of cooking. (In other words, don’t thaw and refreeze.)
Each recipe has six servings. What should I do if I’m only cooking for 1-2 people?
You have options! 1) Make the recipes as-is and eat the leftovers for lunch or dinner later that week. (This is my favorite option because you’ll easily be able to prep the meals along with me tomorrow.) 2) Split each recipe into two freezer bags so you end up with a total of four freezer bags for each recipe and 12 meals total (keep the cooking times the same). 3) Only buy the ingredients for one batch of each recipe and split each one into two bags. (So you end up with two freezer bags of each recipe, 6 meals total, but only need half the ingredients on the premade shopping list.)
How long do the meals last in the freezer?
Each meal will last at least three months in a regular refrigerator freezer.
How much time is required to make the meals?
On “Day Three”, you can prep six freezer meals along with me in the video! I recommend getting out all of your ingredients ahead of time and labeling your freezer bags. Then, press play and we’ll make the meals in 30 minutes or less!
Do these recipes work for special diets?
I hand-picked recipes for this challenge that could be easily modified to be gluten-free and dairy-free. I also provided full nutritional information in the workbook so you have everything you need to decide if they’ll work for you and your family members.
Do the recipes actually taste good?
You bet. Since they’re frozen without any cooking ahead of time, they cook for the first time out of the freezer. That means they taste like freshly-prepared meals and not like leftovers at all. All of my recipes are approved by my family of seven and delicious enough to serve to guests!
