Freezer Meals

Julia Parent

Taking a cooler full of freezer meals to a loved one. Making freezer meals is easy. Simply make a double batch of your favorite recipes or save your leftovers. Wrap single portions in aluminum foil, seal in freezer baggies, and label. If you’re not sure if the foods you have will freeze well, do an internet search to find out. Examples of foods that freeze well include: cooked meats, soups, pasta dishes, and casseroles. To use, put what you plan to eat in the refrigerator the night before to unthaw and microwave until heated through.
