Don't Freeze Up at Meal Time -- Reach Into the Freezer Instead
Let's admit it: we all want to save time and money while still putting healthy and tasty homemade food on the table. But how? Karrie Truman, creator of the much-beloved blog Happy Money Saver, is going to let you in on a secret: the answer is freezer meals.
When she was an exhausted young mom, Karrie found herself serving processed or fast food at the end of a busy day even though she knew it wasn't what she wanted her family to be eating. Then she discovered freezer meals. Immediately, she had home-cooked, easy and delicious food at her fingertips and more time to spend with loved ones.
In Seriously Good Freezer Meals, Karrie shares 150 recipes photos that will change the way you think about freezer cooking. You won't find your mother or grandmother's freezer meals here (except lasagna, of course). Her recipes include Morning Energy Bars, Empanada Hand Pies, Coconut Cashew Basil Curry Soup, Smoky Grilled Louisiana Turkey Legs, and Layered Chocolate Mousse Cake with tons of vegetarian, gluten-free and vegan options, too. Plus, she adds a bulk-batch chart for ease in making large quantities of each freezer-meal recipe.
Karrie gives you all the tools you need to become a freezer-meal genius: information on shopping, cooking, freezing, thawing and everything in between. The book includes beginner, intermediate and advanced meal plan programs to guide you in cooking 7 to 50 meals in a day. You read that right: 50 meals in a day. No more excuses: it's time to start cooking delicious meals that will have you feeling anything but left out in the cold!
I have different expectations of cookbooks but I love reading them. I love looking at the different stories that go with the recipes and the pictures of the different meals. I thought that one of my favorites was Cinnamon Roll Granola and I have the things that I need to make it at home except the icing. There are some Pepperoni Blossoms that sounded interesting and I have the ingredients. The Sweet and Sour Meatballs sounded interesting to me but no one else in my house is going to be eating it so not worth making. There was a recipe for Blackberry Almond Crumble that also sounded tasty. The funny thing about all these recipes is that they are not ones that I would make and freeze so they aren't super helpful to further that mission but they still sound and look like great recipes. I am interested in the pizza kits but I am not sure if I will use them but it is an option for the future because we are out of the refrigerated dough and most of the frozen naan. There are some interesting beef dishes but I currently don't have any beef to try them with. I am going to look at the soups again because I think that some of them sound good too but we mostly just eat baked potato soup and chicken (or turkey) and rice soup that I throw together. We might try another one to add to the rotation. I hope that you check it out for yourself and see if there are any recipes that your family might love.
