Inside: Easy and healthy freezer meals that you’ll love to make and your kids will love to eat!

(This post probably contains affiliate links. My full disclosure policy is quite boring, but you can read it here if you’d like!)

I bet you’d agree, getting our kids to eat what’s in front of them isn’t always a piece of cake! It can be quite the challenge. Finding some freezer meals that they love will make your life so much easier, both in the meal prepping and meal eating department!

Here are 10 easy freezer meals that you can make ahead of time, and then just pop in the oven or crockpot on the day.

>> If you’re going to make ahead freezer meals and you need easy, no-cook ahead recipes – this is where I get all of mine from. 

Roasted Vegetable Stuffed Shells

by Two Peas And Their Pods

I’m not a huge fan of meat in my sauce so I love this version of stuffed shells – and I think it’s a way my 4 year old will gobble some vegetables down (veggies smothered in cheese, anyone???)!

Vegan Enchiladas

by Well Plated

It’s no secret we love mexican food here (hello Mexican Monday and Taco Tuesday!) – and this version of enchiladas without meat looks frickin’ delicious!

Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Chicken Curry

by Sweet Peas And Saffron

There’s nothing better than the sweet and warm smell of curry! This one is going on the plan for next week becuase I’ve been trying to find a good slow cooker curry recipe and I think this might just be it…

Pizza Pasta Casserole

by Eating On A Dime

My four year old recently decided he wants to like pepperoni (but he doesn’t really like it, ha!). He might like it in this, though!

Baked Denver Omelet Recipe

by My Food Story

This is a great one to freeze! Cut it in squares first and you can take them out individually for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

One Pan Tuscan Chicken Pasta Bake

by Sweet Peas And Saffron

I’ve been really loving the tuscan flavors of sun-dried tomatoes and spinach lately. And your kids might pick out the brightly colored pieces, but the flavor will still be there!

Freezer Quesadillas

by Well Plated

I don’t know why I never thought of making a bunch of quesadillas for the freezer before, but this is genius. Especially on a pan like this one – you could make a bunch at a time!

Is this a hack? I don’t know if it’s a hack. B Is this a hack? I don’t know if it’s a hack. But it’s definitely changed me from hating baking to *liking* baking. 

I actually find it 🎉 EASY 🎉 (if you knew how much I hated to bake you’d understand!)

Especially since I started sourdough. I can’t believe I waited so long because I thought it would be hard or time consuming! 

It has actually simplified cooking at home and you know me… I’m chasing simple!

Closing out your meal plan each week will save you Closing out your meal plan each week will save you time in the future, and it takes under a minute!

Plus it’s helpful if your week didn’t go according to plan and you didn’t end up making everything you intended!

Here’s what I do: 

✔️ Checkmark
Made it and we liked it
👉🏼 move on

❌ X it out
Didn’t make it but don’t have the ingredients anymore
👉🏼 move on

🌀 Circle it
Didn’t make it but have the ingredients 
👉🏼 put first on next week’s meal plan

⭐️ Star it
Made it and loved it, need to save recipe
👉🏼 add to your recipes

➖Cross it out
Made it and hated it
👉🏼 remove from master meal plan (and take note of why you hated it)

Save this for when - not if - your plan doesn’t go according to plan!
