Freezer Meals Complete! Finally!

I had a very productive weekend/week!  I nearly filled the deep freezer that my brothers got me for Christmas to the brim with ready to eat, home-made, HEALTHY freezer meals in preparation for MiniM’s arrival!

And the end result is a very full freezer that sits on the patio of my tiny house, just in reach for convenience!

I ended up buying three different sizes of freezable containers that I could use for freezing only, they will not be microwaved in, I can empty the food either into a frying pan to be heated back up or in the microwave.   These are the containers I got, in 8 oz., 16 oz. and 32 oz.  My mom also had some extra flat freezer containers that I used for the enchiladas.

James was kind enough to let me use his kitchen (I used big pots/pans that work better on his big stove).  We struck the deal that if he worked on the tiny house plans I would do all of the cooking (he gets to eat too of course).  Here is what I made, it is a lot [A LOT] of food pictures, you really don’t NEED to see them but if you’re looking for dinner ideas maybe it’s interesting?? :).  In other news there is an update coming on the progress of those house plans, I am getting all the details figured out, I have never done this ‘selling something online’ so there is a bit to work through to make sure everything is safe and secure for everyone.  I think the plan set is going to be great, I like how it’s coming together it’s way better than the standard 2D set I get to build at work… much easier to read and understand.  As a reminder, there is a link on the right hand side of the website that will let you sign up to be notified when they become available (with a coupon), we are still shooting for the beginning of March before MiniM makes her debut to have them ready, there is still a lot of work to be done but they are progressing nicely!

  1. Good job! The best and most amazing and generous gift a friend gave me when I was on bed rest while pregnant was to come over and cook oodles of super healthy freezer meals for after the twins were born. It was beyond helpful to have these meals when I was utterly wiped out and sleep-deprived!

    1. I never had any idea what to do for my friends that were having babies, until now i could never really put myself in their situation, from now on, DEFINITELY freezer meals! Best idea!

    1. He’s not the biggest fan of cooking unfortunately, at least with real foods, he’s more of a frozen dinner kind of guy… I definitely had to take a nap or two! 🙂

    1. I think there is an update in order, pretty quick I will be doing it all over again! In short.. the things with veggies didn’t freeze as well, the sauces and pastas were awesome, maybe even better than the first made ones, The soups were a great idea, especially in cool weather!
