Seriously Good Freezer Meals: 150 Easy Recipes to Save Your Time, Money and Sanity
About this product
Don't Freeze Up at Meal Time -- Reach Into the Freezer Instead Let's admit it: we all want to save time and money while still putting healthy and tasty homemade food on the table. But how? Karrie Truman, creator of the much-beloved blog Happy Money Saver, is going to let you in on a secret: the answer is freezer meals. When she was an exhausted young mom, Karrie found herself serving processed or fast food at the end of a busy day even though she knew it wasn't what she wanted her family to be eating. Then she discovered freezer meals. Immediately, she had home-cooked, easy and delicious food at her fingertips and more time to spend with loved ones. In Seriously Good Freezer Meals, Karrie shares 150 recipes photos that will change the way you think about freezer cooking. You won't find your mother or grandmother's freezer meals here (except lasagna, of course). Her recipes include Morning Energy Bars, Empanada Hand Pies, Coconut Cashew Basil Curry Soup, Smoky Grilled Louisiana Turkey Legs, and Layered Chocolate Mousse Cake with tons of vegetarian, gluten-free and vegan options, too. Plus, she adds a bulk-batch chart for ease in making large quantities of each freezer-meal recipe. Karrie gives you all the tools you need to become a freezer-meal genius: information on shopping, cooking, freezing, thawing and everything in between. The book includes beginner, intermediate and advanced meal plan programs to guide you in cooking 7 to 50 meals in a day. You read that right: 50 meals in a day. No more excuses: it's time to start cooking delicious meals that will have you feeling anything but left out in the cold! Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers generally describe this cookbook as practical and family-friendly, with several readers praising the clear freeze-ahead instructions, portion-scaling guidance, and attractive recipe photos. Some reviewers also note that many recipes are tasty and work well for batch cooking, especially for busy households and large families.
On Goodreads, readers give mixed but mostly positive feedback: supporters say the recipes are delicious and useful for making one meal now and one for later, while critics point out that a few dishes may not save much time compared with cooking from scratch. A blog review from Hidden Ponies and another from Mama Bear’s Haven both frame the book as a useful freezer-meal resource, emphasizing convenience and real-world usability. A separate blog review at Cathy Unfiltered also discusses the cookbook positively as a freezer-meal guide.
Overall, the strongest pattern across sources is that this book is valued for its approachable freezer-meal planning, dependable family recipes, and practical organization, though a minority of readers wish more recipes offered larger time savings.
