Meal Prepping Made Easy
Do you really feel like standing at the stove three times a day? NO. So it’s the perfect time to plan your shopping and dive into the world of meal prepping. You’ll be surprised at how many delicious meals there are that you can prep ahead, toss into a storage bag and freeze for later.
Thankfully, Parade has compiled dozens of the best recipes designed to save us all time and effort. The beauty of these recipes is that they last in the freezer for months and most can be tossed into the slow cooker and forgotten about. Talk about a time-saver!
Another great aspect of prepping freezer-friendly meals ahead of time is that if you prepare multiple meals for freezing at a time, you can cut down overall prep time following recipes that call for the same ingredients.
These are the recipes I can’t wait to try, but definitely check out the whole list. I was impressed at all the options, and I think you will be too when you see what awaits in the world of freezer-friendly meals.
If you’re a Mexican cuisine lover, this one is just for you. Not only does this look delicious, but this is definitely on the healthier side, too! If you have some extra time, maybe top with diced avocado and pair with spanish rice. If you like it spicy, toss in your favorite diced peppers.
Chicken Broccoli Bacon Potato Bake
They had me at BACON! This one is probably not making it into my freezer, but if you have the willpower, you just layer the ingredients a few times and off it goes until you’re ready to enjoy. Top with sour cream for the ultimate baked potato experience.
What’s better than homemade Italian? Homemade Italian that’s easy to make. No tricks here – seasoned chicken breasts, chopped veggies, and a jar of your favorite marinara. Cook spaghetti noodles right before it’s done and “buon appetito”… or stay on the couch – you deserve it!
On second thought, do yourself a favor and get off the couch to make the noodles because while that’s happening, you can pop in a few slices of this garlic bread for your chicken cacciatore. Crusty, garlicky goodness, and the prep and cook time are both only 15 minutes!
Creamy, cheesy, easy – 15 minutes to prepare, 30 minutes to cook. Does it get much better?
Grab & go breakfasts can’t be beat – pop one into the microwave while getting ready and hit the road. Easy to switch it up, too – try different meats, veggies, sauces and cheeses. Perfect for picky eaters or just to have a little variety in your daily meal routine.
Chicken Taquitos with Cilantro & Pepper Jack
Perfect for on-the-go lunches, these easy-to-make taquitos are likely to be in high demand. Just as good for a light dinner… or a late-night snack (we won’t tell). Be careful you don’t eat them all in one sitting. Works with corn or flour tortillas – but for best results, homemade guacamole!
