A lot! But, don’t take our word for it. Here’s what Forbes.com says about your savings, “It is almost five times more expensive to order delivery from a restaurant than it is to cook at home. And if you’re using a meal kit service as a shortcut to a home cooked meal, it’s a bit more affordable, but still almost three times as expensive as cooking from scratch.”

When you have a meal prepped and ready to go, you’ll find yourself opting to eat at home more than ever! Not only that, you’ll buy ingredients in bulk and look for ones on sale, saving you even more.

These meals are much healthier for your family than eating out or buying prepackaged food at the store. That’s because:

• We strive to cook with as many whole food ingredients as possible. This means, for the most part, we cut out processed junk that includes yucky preservatives, additives, excess sodium, and excess sugar.
• A John Hopkins study shows that people who cook their own food and eat at home regularly consume fewer calories, fat, and sugar than those who don’t. Without changing anything other than cooking at home from scratch, you WILL be eating a healthier diet!
• When you cook at home, you’re in charge of what goes into your food. Feel free to cut back on fat, sugar, or sodium if you want.

You bet. We have included options on every recipe possible (with just a few exceptions) to make them either gluten-free or dairy-free, if they aren’t already.

Each freezer meal yields 4-6 servings and sometimes more. It’s easy to increase the number of servings if you add some extra veggies or meat, though.

The recipes in our prep plans are our “best of the best” and ones that all ages enjoy. After freezer cooking for over a decade each, we have a high standard of what a great freezer meal is. These meals aren’t just good; they TASTE FRESH. We have personally created, taste tested, and tweaked hundreds of freezer meals over the years. This collection of recipes are delicious enough to make again and again.

Every meal can be frozen for later or enjoyed fresh now!

If you want to eat a meal fresh (rather than freeze it), you’ll find the cooking instructions in the individual recipes. We also made a note of fresh ingredients you’ll need on hand, so you know how to cook it from fresh.

So, feel free to throw several in the refrigerator to use in the next few days and the rest in the freezer for a later date.

It’s totally up to you! We personally find it easier to have the session printed out, but it’s definitely not required. If you want to save on printing, you could just print the labels and use your device for everything else.

We’ve also designed this in a way that it works fine for a black and white printer.

Nowhere else do we have a resource like this--one that includes step-by-step instructions to stock your freezer with multiple meals at once, a complete shopping list for all recipes, and completed printable freezer labels. Everything is neatly designed for you to print and use again and again.

We’ve also had a testing team meticulously work through our sessions to make sure every step makes sense and that we’ve organized all of the information in the best way possible.

Every prep session has a specific equipment list, but here are some of the frequently asked questions we get.

You'll cook most of your meals on the stovetop or in the oven. However, we do have some recipes specifically for the slow cooker or a grill. For slow cooker recipes, we always link to an Instant Pot version and sometimes a stove/oven option. For grilling recipes, we link to a stove/oven option.

For freezer meal storage, we mainly recommend using BPA-free, snap top (NOT zip top) 1 gallon freezer bags . For some recipes, you'll need glass or metal 8x8 or 9x9 inch square casserole dishes. You can see all our equipment recommendations in our Amazon Store.

You do not need a deep freezer for these prep sessions, although it's helpful to invest in a secondary freezer eventually if you want to stockpile meals for your family. A deep freezer will keep meals frozen solid longer, which means your meals will last longer in the freezer (6+ months). A regular freezer works fine (up to 3 months is optimal storage time) as long as you keep it at 0°F and store your meals in the back.
