The most important part of this whole freezer cooking thing is to find a cookbook that has the freezer recipe's and the shopping list included. This is key. It saved me so much time to just print off an already compiled grocery list.
I used this ebook and it is fabulous. She arranges your shopping list by combining three meals.
So the first step is to find or create a shopping list and then do the shopping. I recommend going after the kids are in bed. It makes things much easier. I love my precious ones but I despise taking them both to the grocery.
Next you need to slice and dice every little thing. I like to use two different cutting boards, one for veggies and one for meat. I hate raw meat. I don't want anything to touch anything that's been touched by raw meat. I also wear gloves because I feel like if I touch raw meat, inevitably it will get on my faucet or on the counter. If I wear glove, I just chop chop and then throw away the gloves. It's perfect.
I recently saw on "Shark Tank" a fantastic idea. It was a form that will make any bag a bowl. So I used that same idea using big cups to make my baggies into bowls. It helped keep the raw grossness off the outside of the bag and made assembly so easy. I just tossed all my chopped items right in. And can you believe the people on "Shark Tank" didn't bite? I thought it was genius.
So that's about it, chop chop, throw and toss. Then you zip those suckers up, put a label on it, and stick it in the freezer.
Today I actually put one of those freezer meals in the crock pot so I'll keep you posted on the final product.
