    31 Days of Freezer Cooking Recipes | 5DollarDinners.com

    Autumn is upon us and it’s time to get back to warm, hearty soups, stews, and casseroles. It’s a time when we actually want the oven on to help warm our homes and our hearts. It’s a time that we don’t mind spending a little extra cozy time in the kitchen making our favorite comfort foods.

    (But who has time for that…not this busy mama!) 

    While I love being in the kitchen, I need to make my time spent cooking as efficient as possible…and how I accomplish that is with batch cooking, freezer cooking and keeping easy and quick meals or ingredients ready to go in the freezer. This month, I’ll be sharing all my favorite freezer cooking recipes, tricks, hacks and how-tos.

    Hope you learn something valuable, and find a new favorite recipe for you and your family!
