One of the first excuses for not freezer cooking is, “I just don’t have the time!” But did you know that we have many recipes that require NO COOKING on the preparation day? We call them “dump and go,” but they are also known as “throw and go”. Ingredients are usually prepped, thrown into a bag, and right into the freezer. We have several Dump and Go Mini meal plans that you can use to pack the freezer with TEN dinners in less than TWO hours. Our Members can also create custom mini meal plans. * Just make sure to select “easy assembly/dump and go” when searching by cooking method.
*Keep in mind there are limitations to free membership. See here for the different levels of membership.

Hi Keli,this isn’t a menu, simply a list of some of Once A Month Mom’s easy assembly meals. Here is an Easy Assembly Mini Menu which will give you 10 dinners: Easy Assembly Mini Menu.
Thank you for posting this! The reason why I signed on to Once a Month Mom and became a member was because I loved the meals and wanted the ease of printing the grocery lists, labels, recipe cards, etc. Any chance you would be able to create another easy assembly mini menu complete with the grocery list and recipe cards?Cheers,
Ashley
We most definitely take reader requests to heart so we will see what we can do, especially since you are not the first to ask. 🙂 The more requests we get, the more likely we are to do it. Hint, hint.
OMG I would also love to have these in a menu/recipe card format. Love these recipes and that they are super freezer friendly – just what I need!!
soooo about that grocery list and other convenient additions 😉
Tiffany – With our pro membership you are able to create a custom menu using these recipes, and then print off the corresponding resources!
