25 Healthy Recipes You Can Make Ahead and Freeze
The thing about cooking ahead is that I have to set aside the time to cook at some point. But then, on crazy nights when we just need to eat, we have a meal that’s all ready to go. That’s an investment that pays off big for my sanity and satisfaction (usually leftovers too!).
My make-ahead strategy:
The week before:Look up recipes I want to eat the following week. Make a shopping list.
On Saturday morning:Shop for the ingredients I need (without the toddler).
Saturday and Sunday:Make two easy meals I can freeze. (For as ambitious as I may sound, I usually pick at least one really easy one and/or one I can make in my slow cooker.)
The next week:Defrost and enjoy! (With a vegetable side, of course. For super-simple ideas, check outHow to Cook 20 Vegetables.)
