    I am all for multitasking in the kitchen, which means being smart with both my time and ingredients. I often bake muffins or snacks for lunch boxes, while making a double batch of a chili, soup or casserole. The second batch ends up in the freezer to make on a future busy or stressful day!

    These days, I love being in the kitchen as the cold weather bears on and I find myself warming up my hands over a skillet dinner that’s on the stovetop, or leaving the oven door open after baking something to let all the heat into the kitchen! (No children were around, don’t worry!)

    I’m sharing a list of fantastic freezer friendly recipes over on Parade Magazine’s blog this week! Here’s a few of the recipes I’ve included…

    • King Ranch Chicken Enchiladas
    • Coconut Key Lime Bread (because this crazy cold weather makes me long for the tropics!)
    • Stovetop Ratatouille
    • Mango Raspberry Smoothie Packs
    • And 9 other fantastic freezer friendly meals!

    Check out the complete list of recipes now!

    Pin them, print them, fall in love with them 🙂

      Thanks for this! I’m in the process of putting together a list of recipes to stock our freezer with before we have our first baby this summer, and several of these look like they could be good to throw in. Especially the breakfast/smoothie options! I have a question about the enchilada recipe–would you recommend baking before or after the casserole is frozen?

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5.
