Remember when planning a freezer meal session to clear a good amount of space out of your fridge to chill food. The colder you get the food before you put it in the freezer, the better food safety you will have. Meaning, you won't have stacks of warm food growing bacteria in the freezer. It not only sounds gross, it is gross. When you are ready to serve meals, either microwave the ingredients out of the plastic bags, or defrost in the fridge. Never defrost at room temperature on the counter! Food may feel cool to the touch and still be just the right temperature to grow unwanted food born illness. If it's predictable, it's preventable.

Be sure to also label your meals clearly. My sister, Auntie Em, has gone so far as to print labels with the cooking instructions as well as having a daily calender on the fridge with all the meals planned out. That's totally amazing and a matter of preference. I keep a list on the fridge of foods I have on hand. When I take one out of the freezer, I mark it off the list. Do what you want. Go explore the rest of the recipes I have. Though to be honest, I have only just begun to put freezer meals on this site. I have a couple hundred I've used and love so we can definitely have a lot more. I'm thinking of instituting Freezer Friday, where I highlight one freezer meal a week for folks to try and add to their list of foods that freezer well. What do you think?
