Rachel Tiemeyer is a cookbook author and co-editor of Thriving Home (thrivinghome.org), a top-ranking site for healthy, freezable recipes. She and pal Polly Conner started their site in 2012 as a way to help families thrive at home, especially when it comes to getting a delicious meal on the table. After freezer cooking for their families for nearly a decade, they now jokingly refer to themselves as "freezer meal evangelists".
Rachel and Polly released their first cookbook, From Freezer to Table, in Fall 2017. In 2020, they released their second, From Freezer to Cooker, that focuses on slow cooker and Instant Pot freezer meal recipes made with whole foods. Their newest product is 1 Hour Freezer Prep, a library of prep sessions to help families make 6 meals in just 1 hour (1HourFreezerPrep.com).
Rachel and her husband, Nathan, have three children and live in Columbia, Missouri.
