About Freezer Friendly
These dishes hold their taste and texture in the freezer. Soups, stews, chili, meatballs, casseroles, burritos, muffins and cookie dough are common choices. Each recipe notes how to store and reheat.
The goal is long storage. Make Ahead is for short-term prep, and Meal Prep is for the week ahead. Some foods, like cream sauces or fresh salad greens, do not freeze well, so we keep to dishes that do.
Questions folks ask
How long can food stay in the freezer?
Quality is best within a few months. Label items so you know when you froze them.
How do I thaw frozen meals safely?
Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat until hot all the way through.
Can I freeze food in glass dishes?
Only if the dish is labeled freezer safe. Leave room for food to expand.
