Freeze your fresh ingredients as mealtime essentials! From the best-selling author of Freeze Fresh.

Using garden fresh vegetables and fruits, Crystal Schmidt offers a unique approach to meal prep, with 160 recipes for complete meals as well as meal starters—dishes that can be partially prepared and frozen, then combined with pantry ingredients to make a complete meal. These original recipes range from soups, dips, beverages, and main dishes to veggie sides, baked goods, frozen treats, jams, and pie fillings.

Going well beyond the idea of simply pulling a casserole out of the freezer to thaw for dinner, Freeze Fresh Meal Prep gives home cooks the tools and flexibility they need to make a delicious, fresh meal—breakfast, lunch, or dinner—in a pinch. Because she’s a serious gardener, Schmidt treats meal prep as a way to preserve the bounty from her vegetable garden and includes a separate index that organizes recipes by fruit or vegetable type.

Recipes include:

Chicken Tortilla Soup Starter
Spicy Roasted Carrot Dip
Summer Harvest Soup
Thai-Inspired Pumpkin Veggie Curry
Supreme Pizza Casserole
Cheesy Fire-Roasted Poblano Breakfast Tacos
Sweet Potato Casserole Cups
Zucchini Peanut Noodles
Cinnamon Breakfast Apples
Roasted Peach and Amaretto Jam
Double Chocolate Beet Cookies
Cherry Cheesecake Ice Cream Sandwiches

Genre:

"Revolutionizes meal planning with vibrant, freezer-friendly recipes that take advantage of in-season produce for optimal flavor and freshness."
Michelle Sendowski, cofounder of Souper Cubes
"Unlocks a whole new level of food preservation that every home gardener will be thrilled to uncover."
Katie Krejci, creator of The Homesteading RD
"Makes any home cook confident they can level up their freezer game."
Michelle Bruhn, coauthor of Small-Scale Homesteading
