Elisha helped me bring our entire freezer out into the garage so I could show you guys, in real time, how I make freezer meals. This way really conserves space and energy if you don’t have a gigantic freezer outside in your garage or anywhere else. This also helps if you don’t have the room to stack giant “ready to go in the oven” casserole dishes in your freezer.
This is super helpful if you are postpartum. That is why I did this specific meal prep, but I do love to use all of these strategies if I’m just making double batches and putting something into my freezer. I really like to use my freezer as a way to get ahead, preserve food and have a way to pull out a fresh meal for our family and not have it feel like it is reheated or it’s leftovers. It’s kind of half way done and the ingredients are all added. It takes a lot of the brainwork out of the process for me and makes it super, super easy.
Freezer meals are a part of our every day life, but this big prep has to do specifically with postpartum. For me, when it comes to the kitchen, I feel like brain power is the biggest thing I’m up against. When I’m tired or overwhelmed, I don’t want to have to think.
I hope that this was helpful for you and gave you a few ideas of what you can do if you have a small freezer space. I know it’s always a plus to find ways to make life easier! :)
