Quite honestly it was life changing for me.  \nThen I had to share it with everyone because honestly it was just SO exciting.  \nSince then I've been creating Freezer Meal Guides for others to follow and loving every second!  \nWhat is coming next is all my BEST tips and info on freezer mealsand freezer meal prep.  \nAre you ready?  \nLet's do this.  \nCHEAT SHEET  \nWhat can/can't you freeze?  \nHonestly almost everything freezes well! There are a few things you' ll want to avoid.  \nCream based things like a fettucini sauce Fried foods  \nFrostings/icings  \nFully cooked pasta (under cook your pasta for frozen meals!)  \nLettuce  \nFully cooked rice (again, under cook) Sour cream  \nMayonnaise  \nSo what do you do if the recipe you want to freeze calls for one of these things?  \nGenerally I just leave it out and write on the bag or tray to add a certain amount of X ingredient in later. For example, I make white chicken chili by adding everything it needs in the bags except the broth, sour cream, and heavy whipping cream. Then I write myself instructions for later on the bag. It makes the entire process REALLY easy!  \nCHEAT SHEET  \nWhat do I need for creating freezer meals?  \nNot many things other than what you already have in your kitchen! Here are a few things I suggest:  \nFreezer bag holders are my absolutely \\#1 recommendation. I CANT imagine trying to do this without them.  \nFreezer bags or aluminum foil casserole pans (I don’t recommend glass or plastic because they take up more space and can lead to freezer burn)  \nA Sharpie for writing on your bags.  \nTennis shoes and a cushy kitchen mat for extended cooking sessions. Your feet will thank you later!  \nYou can find links to everything I mentioned right here.  \nLastly, you' ll need a PLAN! I' ll be talking about that next.  \nCHEAT SHEET  \nHow do you create a month of meals in one cooking session?  \nSo I’ m going to be honest the first time I tried to create 18 freezer meals at one time I thought it would be a piece of cake. Two or three hours tops, right?  \nWell I got the kids to bed at 9 PM I started. I rolled into bed at 1 AM sore and not finished. It took me two more hours the next day.  \nI went in cocky and without a plan. DO NOT DO THIS.  \nPrint all your recipes and come up with a plan of action.  \nPick ingredients that are used frequently so there is little food waste.  \nMy Freezer Meal Guides are created specifically for this purpose!  \nIf you want to take a look at them and find a super-easy guide to Freezer meal prep click right here.  \nWhat if I don't want to cook for that long?  \nThe beauty of freezer meal prep is you can always stop and pick it back up another time! I usually prefer to cook in two two-hour sessions instead of a four-hour session.  \nCHEAT SHEET  \nFood Safety and handling suggestions:  \nPut the foods in the fridge before freezing, they need to get down to 40 degrees before being put in the freezer! I usually just pop them in the fridge overnight and in the morning switch everything over.  \nThawing should be done in a fridge or in a cold bowl of water. Don’t risk growing bacteria in your food!  \nTo avoid cross contamination I usually like to use two cutting matsand two different knives for meats and veggies.  \nMake sure your freezer it at or below 0 to keep your food as fresh as possible.  \nMake sure to label your stuff with the made date and a used by date just for safety.  \nAir is your enemy! Trying using a small straw to suck out the of the air out of a bag to keep it as fresh as possible.  \nCHEAT SHEET  \nFreezing Storage Time Lengths  \n1 to 2 months  \nHot dogs, lunch meat, bacon and sausage  \n2 to 3 months Soups and Stews  \n3 to 4 months  \nHamburger and other ground meats, cooked ham  \n","cbCaigcAx6ARfnPO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigcAx6ARfnPO","pdf",453595,"English","# Cheat Sheet\n## What can/can't you freeze?\n## What do I need for creating freezer meals?\n## How do you create a month of meals in one cooking session?\n## Food Safety and handling suggestions\n## Freezing Storage Time Lengths\n## How do I cook my freezer meals?\n## JUST SOME TIPS","[{\"question\":\"What foods should be avoided when freezing freezer meals?\",\"answer\":\"Avoid cream-based items like fettucini sauce, fried foods, frostings/icings, fully cooked pasta, lettuce, fully cooked rice, sour cream, and mayonnaise.
