I still have a good amount of meals in the freezer from my last cooking day but we need to get some bread and breakfast options made. I’ll hopefully come up with a plan by Friday. I love OAMC days!!

[...] is particularly helpful when it comes time to prepare a lot of meals at one time and fill the freezer like a crazy woman. Stay tuned for that early next week! Like it? Pass [...]

Great questions, M! Check the OAMC archives for posts that address all sorts of freezer cooking questions.

I’ve never done this before but may give it a try next month as I’m expecting a baby in just 8 weeks! What types of containers/bags do you use to keep your food from getting freezer burn? The only stuff I’ve ever frozen before are lasagna, chili & baked breads (i.e. banana)…so I have a lot of new things I’d like to try.

I’m excited about this. My freezer is looking a little bare.

I guess that I don’t drain all the juices completely and I get it “just” cooked. No overcooking allowed. Good packaging also helps!

I was concerned about making things like taco meat, when you freeze and then thaw out-my concern is that the meat would be very dry tasting how do you keep the meat moist?

Adrienne, I’ll be sharing more later in the week about freezer cooking, but of course you can make fresh! You get to make your own rules! I’m actually going to be doing lots of meal “components” like cooked taco meat, beans, baking mixes, etc.

Ooh! I’m excited. I jumped on the “eat from the pantry” bandwagon a bit late but it has been an interesting challenge and I’ve enjoyed being creative as much as I can. I’ve heard about OAMC and have been intrigued but have yet to try it. This should be fun! Does every meal for the whole month have to be from the freezer? I like to cook and some of our favorite foods aren’t super freezer-friendly, can I still make things fresh if I want to?

I still have plenty of meals left in my freezer from last time (I took inventory yesterday) so I think this time will be focuses on some fillers, deserts and snacks.
