BENEFITS OF USING OUR PREP SESSIONS
EVERY RECIPE IN OUR PREP SESSIONS MUST BE:
Description: “Dump and go” is the mantra of this prep session. For each meal, you’ll toss seasoned meat into your cooker of choice, press a button to cook, then shred, and use in these diverse recipes. Melinda M. from our testing team said, “I like having the main protein prepped for our meals, as it seems to be easier for me to throw together sides on the fly.” Bonus: This session is fast!
All of these recipes include dairy-free and gluten-free substitutions. Find all the nutrition facts for these recipes here.
Both picky and adventurous eaters go for this Mediterranean spin on pulled pork. The toppings make this dish a party in your mouth! However, if you have finicky eaters, they’ll still enjoy the pulled pork and cheese wrapped in a warm pita.
Making delicious BBQ just got easier (and healthier) with these mini sammies. The perfectly seasoned, shredded chicken breasts are served on mini buns and topped with BBQ Sauce to make an easy weeknight meal.
Tender, seasoned shredded beef is served on a bed of tortilla chips with melty cheese and all your favorite nacho toppings.
Description: Hands down, this is one of our favorite prep sessions. Not only is it painless to prepare for the freezer, but it’s also pretty darn cheap! Tester Lucy K. said, “Allows me to give my kids a quick, nutritious breakfast without much thought when I’m still half asleep in the mornings.” Amen to that!

These no bake cookies made with all real food ingredients are perfect for a filling, grab-and-go breakfast or snack. Good fuel for athletes, too. Careful, it’s hard to stop at just one or two!
Kids and adults alike enjoy this super nutritious smoothie that’s reminiscent of a comforting blueberry muffin. The spinach provides a tasteless, invisible health boost! You’ll prep individual smoothie packs for the freezer that you can dump in the blender with a little milk anytime.
This baked oatmeal recipe has it all. It’s healthy, easy, freezable, and delicious. It’s also gluten-free & dairy-free! You can feel good about filling your family’s tummies with this first thing in the morning.
Description: Some shared ingredients plus quite the variety of recipes (pork tenderloin, a baked casserole, and a form of pizza!) make this prep session affordable, easy to prep, and interesting. All these meals come together quickly on the other end of their freezer stay, making them great for busy nights.
All of these recipes include dairy-free and gluten-free substitutions. Find all the nutrition facts for these recipes here.
With just the right balance of sweet, tangy, and umami flavors, this main dish hits all the right spots on the palette. Easy, kid-friendly, yet impressive!
This oh-so-cheesy baked pasta is a great way to sneak in a little extra veggie. It’s easy to add in other ingredients (see ideas below), but we kept it pretty basic for quick assembly. Omit the pepperoni to make this vegetarian.
You select the toppings, and we’ll guide you through prepping this fun (and far easier) take on pizza. When ready to enjoy it, either bake it thawed or from frozen in no time.
Description: This prep session is all about versatility and a trip around the culinary world. Steak or chicken fajitas? Chicken or turkey mini burgers? Asian-marinated salmon or chicken? You choose the protein your family loves best and leave the rest of the mouthwatering flavors to us!
All of these recipes include dairy-free and gluten-free substitutions. Find all the nutrition facts for these recipes here.
Prepare yourself for restaurant quality fajitas with very little work! This is a great go-to weeknight dinner that’s quick to assemble and easily customizable.
A kid and adult fav! In fact, my freezer club deemed them a “home run” recipe, and it became one that we made for our group several times per year.
A perfect marriage of Asian marinade ingredients leaves salmon or chicken moist and full of complex flavor. Freeze alongside a bag of frozen rice and stir fry veggies for a complete meal kit.

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:
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.
You can find all the nutrition facts for our recipes here.
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.
What cooking methods do you use? 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.
What do I store the meals in? 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 here.
Do I need a deep freezer? 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.
HAPPY BELLIES GUARANTEED!
We're so confident you'll love our prep plans that we'll refund your money if you aren't satisfied.
