HOW TO STOCK YOUR FREEZER LIKE A PRO

A well-stocked freezer may seem like an afterthought when it comes to meal planning, but you can take one thing for granted: Learning how to stock your freezer well is an essential step in becoming a skilled meal planner. And it makes meal prepping much easier and more enjoyable. It even makes up for days that you couldn’t prep for.

What’s wrong with a pantry? Nothing wrong pantry but a pantry is not like this super BFF that you can call at 2am on an idle Wednesday for a no-questions-asked. Your pantry can only hold shelf-stable foods, your freezer can keep fresh foods fresh for several months. Having it well stocked, allows you to have plenty of healthy meal options ready-made without constantly running back and forth to the supermarket.

Plus, your freezer can hold all lots of “saver meals” for those weeks when your meal plan just doesn’t work out. Overtime, parents’ reunion at school, bestie in town, new lover
