Thank you for the intro. I’m considering diving into meal prep/batch cooking so that i can stick to the Autoimmune Protocol diet and then some sort of Paleo diet (gluten, soy and dairy free, at least). It would be great if there was a category for those receipes!
Thanks

In reply to Tia. That's the great part about freezing things! Where something might last 4 days in the fridge temps, freezing it allows time to almost stand still, so you get a lot more life out of it! Most meals freeze great as the whole prepared meal, but of course it varies recipe to recipe. Things with cream or cheese in them for example, may be a little chunky and separate when you reheat them. You can almost always scroll down to the comment section of a recipe and find out any freezing tips from us or other readers. Most meals are fine to just reheat in the microwave from frozen, but just use your best judgement there!

The only part that confuses me is the freezing portions part since obviously food only keeps for ~ 4 days. Does the typical rice keep and reheat good after being frozen? Do you freeze them as a whole prepped meal or do you do the ingredients individually? How do you go about reheating your meal to eat? Or do you take it out and thaw it, then microwave it?

Thank you for the post. You shared some really helpful tips and ideas. I cook for hubby and myself.
If I make a one dish meal and it is 6 servings, we will eat the first one fresh, and I will package 2 servings for the freezer, and we will eat the other 2 servings later in the week. This way we do not eat the same meal 3 days in a row, and there are always meals ready in the freezer. I usually cook at least 4 serving of veggies as well as most meats, either steamed or sheet pan and roasted. I store the veggies separate from the meat, and then just plate and reheat when we are ready to eat.
When making a pot of soup, I always portion and freeze some for later.
