Freezer Meals Can Be Simple

Tonight for dinner we had green verde pork tacos (I cooked the pork in my electric pressure cooker - much faster than a crockpot when I'm squeezed for time and forget to pre-plan).  I made the slaw that goes with fish tacos for one of the toppings.  I accidentally miscalculated the ingredients so I ended up having to make twice as much sauce for the slaw for it to work.

I decided to freeze half of that mixture and count it as a part of a freezer meal/kit.  So with this spice kit, I  wrote sticky note list of the other items needed and then saran wrapped it to the small container.  I have tilapia already in the freezer, along with pre-chopped frozen green onions and tortillas.  So I will just add fresh cilantro and broccoli slaw and wah-la  there is an easy meal!  It just realized that it doesn't have to be hard.

Here is the recipe for Fish Tacos - a staple in our family.

Are you interested in freezer meals?

I am thinking about starting a freezer meal group. My sister has a group of 8 ladies that meet once a month to trade meals. So that means they make 8 freezer meals (the same recipe) and then swap and come home with seven new meals and one of their own. She also orders the disposable 9x9 aluminum pans and everyone buys their pans from her (something like $0.32 each). Then you can have meals ready to pop in the oven and meals ready to give away without worrying about getting your pan back.

I am willing to give it a trial run and see how it works.

If any of you are in freezer meal groups, please share the pros and cons with us. I think a lot of us are interested, just a bit skeptical.
