Hello Jen. Happy New Year. I thought i would let you know that i made these freezer meals and we have eaten the meatballs and pork meals. They were outstanding! I spent $206.00 Canadian on the 12 meals. Thats reasonable in my view. Thank you!

Your earrings are so cute! Also, thanks so much for sharing!! I enjoy cooking occasionally but after work and managing homes chores and life, ive just been feeling zapped of energy. The idea of having meals ready in the freezer makes me feel much better. I also appreciate that some of these recipies have overlapping ingredients which could help me save by buying in bulk or overall reducing wasted ingredients.

I felt like when they were smaller I was much more organized, meal planning, cooking non-stop and making them eat lol! I don't know what happened!? Maybe it's because they can make their own meals and now I'm like eh..just make whatever you want🙈 This will help with them not just eating quick microwave foods!

Curious why you didn’t cook the beef before putting it in the freezer bag? Is it ok to put it in the crockpot raw?

Yes, but it means you must thaw the freezer bag before slow cooking it. Meats that are already cooked through before being frozen can be added frozen to a crockpot.
