where or how do i begin making freezer meals. I currently spend more then I like on things like frozen biscuits and such
Hi Becca! I will add some of those posts, but really, I freeze almost anything that I make that has leftovers. Soups, casseroles, biscuits, etc. all freeze easily – just bake your favorites (a little shorter on baked goods) and then add them to the freezer. Reheat when you’re ready to eat and many will be perfect! I’ll start working though on some freezer meals/ideas though because that’s a great suggestion. You can also see what items are available to freeze over here ~ hope that helps! https://passionatepennypincher.com/2011/10/can-you-freeze-it/
