Are You Ready to Increase Your Freezer Cooking Game?
Some of you will find that being a “Mix It Up Master” is the perfect fit for you and your lifestyle. There is nothing wrong with achieving this stage of freezer cooking and staying here!
Some of you may be longing for your “Dump and Stir Enthusiast” Days! There is nothing wrong with that! Now you know. There is no shame in hanging out at that stage again.
While still others of you may be wanting to return to more “Dump and Go” meal plans BUT want to make more meals at a time than just ten. Now that we have tried out “Dump and Go” and “Mixed” meal plans, we are ready to start adding more recipes to our meal plans to create 14-20 meals in one cooking day. If this describes you, you are ready to . . .
Become a
“Recipe Freestyler”
“I am all about making freezer cooking my own. Choose your own adventure as some might say! I really enjoy trying new recipes and challenging myself with new techniques. However, I try not to be overzealous with the number of meals and stick to roughly 3 weeks worth of freezer meals.”
Your Next Goals:
Complete Two Custom Meal Plans:
- One “Dump and Go” Meal Plan of Seven to Ten Recipes:
- This is a custom made meal plan made up of 7-10 “Dump and Go” recipes that will double to make 14-20 freezer meals. These meals a meal plan made of only dump and go recipes, aka meals that require little to no cooking. Simply dump in a bag and freeze.
- One Custom “Mixed” Mini Meal Plan of Seven to Ten Recipes!
- This is a meal plan you get to customize that is made up of 7-10 “Mixed” recipes that will double to make 14-20 freezer meals. These meals will use a variety of cook and prep types. For example, stovetop, baked, slow cooker and more.
Your Next Action Items!
1. Create Your Own “Dump and Go” Meal Plan!
- Create your own “Dump and Go” Mini Meal Plans choosing only 7-10 recipes that are labeled “Dump and Go” recipes.

- Schedule your cooking day to keep you accountable!
- Follow the My Freezer Meal Plan Checklist
2. Create Your Own “Mixed” Meal Plan!
- Create your own “Mixed Mini Meal Plan choosing only 7-10 recipes of any cooking type.

- Follow the My Freezer Meal Plan Checklist
3. Favorite the Recipes You Like!
