Not Your Mother’s Make-Ahead and Freeze Cookbook [Giveaway]
 |
Over in the Eats section we were discussing time saving kitchen tips. Well, my friend Jessica from Life as Mom is kind of an expert on that. She is pretty darn awesome at make-ahead meals and freezer cooking. So awesome that she just wrote a cookbook called Not Your Mother’s Make-Ahead and Freeze Cookbook.
Jessica stores whole meals in the freezer for her family making the weeknight get the dinner on the table task totally fast even on the crazy days. She does this thing called Once a Month Cooking. Something that in my wildest dreams I have never even dared attempt.
I don’t pretend to know anything about freezer cooking, other than things like freezing shredded chicken, cookie dough, and waffles or pancakes, so I was pretty anxious to take a look at what Jessica had to say about this whole making meals ahead of time thing.
I’m running a little low in the time department these days. On soccer practice nights or days I’m battling people about homework I could use all the help I can get. And I think it is time to turn to my freezer for that help!
Right now I’m kind of salivating over recipes like Salsa Verde Beef, Tarragon Turkey Burgers with Blue Cheese and Chipotle Mayo, Gingery Pork and Mushroom Lettuce Wraps, Buttered French Toast Casserole with Almonds and Ginger, Caramel-Lime Bars and more!
These are definitely not old-fashioned freezer recipes!
Here’s what you’ll find in Jessica’s book:
- More than 200 recipes to make ahead and freeze
- Basic instruction in freezer cooking
- How to adapt your own recipes for freezing
- Gluten-free and vegetarian options
- Tips for bulk cooking with kids, with friends, and on your own
- Fresh inspiration and 21st century flavors and ingredients
- For a detailed list of contents go here.
What do you think? Is that something you might want to learn how to do too? You’re in luck because Jessica’s publisher is giving away a copy to 2 lucky winners.
Giveaway Prize (2 winners):

I have frozen lasagna before and would like to find some more things that would work for weeknight eating.
[Reply]
I have not tried freezer cooking before but I LOVE the concept and this sounds like just the book to get me to do it!
[Reply]
I tried freezer meals years ago, but the recipes were pretty boring…would love this cookbook as the recipes look amazing and up-to-date! I am getting ready to go from part-time work to full-time and this would be a great help.
[Reply]
I love freezer/make ahead cooking. I would love some new recipes though I keep doing the same old things.
[Reply]
I’ve not done a lot of freezer cooking…mostly just tucking something away when I make a double batch of lasagna or spaghetti sauce. I need to start though. Life with a 10 year old and all her activities, combined with care taking for my father, leaves evening meals rather haphazard some evenings.
[Reply]
I’m due with our second child in January, and stocking the freezer has been on my list of things to do! A cookbook with this many recipes and tips would be a big help!

I’ve tried freezer meals before, but it’s usually for stews and crock pot like meals. I’m really excited to learn more diverse recipes from this book. Looks like an amazing resource for creating freezer-ready meals.
[Reply]
I’ve never tried it for a few reasons. 1)I don’t have an extra freezer and mine is already packed, so nowhere to put the make-ahead meals. 2)all the recipes I’ve seen for Make-ahead meals are heavy on the casseroles. Not my favorite!
[Reply]
i haven’t really; i need to know how to be more organized

Oh, boy, I would love to learn more about this! I always end up with freezer burn on my food and I know there must be a better way to do it.
[Reply]
I’ve tried a few freezer dinner recipes in the past, but we didn’t like them! I’d love to try it again, especially if the meals are as tasty as they sound.
[Reply]
I’ve tried it, but I’m never terribly successful. For example, frozen potatoes are terrible. But it would be great to have a cookbook to kind of hold my hand through the process.

I do crock-pot meals and sometimes intentionally make extra chili and spaghetti sauce to freeze for another meal, but that’s about it. I’d love to learn some new recipes!
[Reply]
I think I’m most excited about the vegetarian options for make-ahead meals. I have made lasagne with and without meat and frozen it but the vegetarian version always seems to be soggier. I’m sure there’s a way to correct it but I just stopped trying.

I’ve always been interested in freezing meals… just been a little afraid. I don’t want to go to all the work and then have to throw it away because it was a meal that didn’t freeze very well… Would love to learn freezing tips.

Most excited about the breakfast section especially the Spiced Whole Grain Waffles and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes!!
[Reply]
The only type of freezer meals I have ever made were in soup form, so I think I can learn a LOT! Thanks for the great giveaway!
[Reply]
I do some freezer cooking, mostly stocks, beans, breads, and I will sometimes double (or cut in half) what I’m making to freeze half for a later meal. I’ve had good success, but I’d love this book to learn new, good for you recipes that have already been freezer tested!
[Reply]
I’ve never tried make ahead cooking before, but I do make large batches of cookie dough and freeze the individual balls so I can have cookies whenever the mood strikes
[Reply]
i have tried freeze ahead cooking, with limited success.
i had no idea you needed to adapt your recipes in order to freeze them, so that’s what i’m interested to learn from jessica’s book.
[Reply]
I have been trying out different meals that I can freeze to be ready when the baby comes. It is our first baby and we don’t have any family nearby that will bring us meals so I want to be prepared with good meals ready to heat up. This book would be perfect!!
[Reply]
I’ve done freezer meal cooking before and loved it. I haven’t done much since I had my last baby, but I’d love to have some new recipes. Jessica’s recipe list for the book, sound delicious!
[Reply]
I have done freezer meals before, but my repetoire is very small and sad. I’d love this book!
[Reply]
I started a little bit of freezer cooking in the last few weeks (I’m nesting), but I’d love to do more and this cookbook looks wonderful!
[Reply]
I tried it once just before my second child was born 17 years ago. It was mostly cream-of-? soup based with lots of rice and pasta. We no longer eat that way, so I haven’t wanted to try again. This book, however, looks fabulous.

I did freezer cooking in the last weeks of my pregnancies to prepare for baby! Sooo helpful!

I’m a huge make-ahead meal fan, but boy-oh-boy do I need more recipes and ideas for freezer meals my picky husband will eat! With 200 of them, I’m betting that book will really help me expand my reportoire.
[Reply]
I don’t feel like I know much about freezing ahead and have not trained my brain to remember to get it out in time to thaw if there is something in the freezer I have made. I think it would be interesting to see her process and hopefully build my confidence that the food would be good and not taste like a frozen dinner!

I have used big batch cooking…throwing extras into the freezer for another day. I love to know that a meal is waiting for me when I need one

I make healthy muffins and freeze them for the kids to have a quick breakfast on early school mornings! I also double up enchiladas and shepherd’s pie and freeze one. Would love to try some great freezer meals. Looking for some new ideas! I would especially love a complete meal including sides and dessert that I could make ahead of time that would be suitable for company.

Tried freezing various things – but never a whole meal …would love to learn whole meal recipes …

I mostly use the crock pot for make ahead cooking and am excited to see recipes for make ahead freezer meals.. anything to make meal cooking during the week a little easier works for me!

The only thing I’ve frozen for later is soup so I’d definitely be interested to see what else she whips up and tosses in the freezer for later.

I’ve tried to do freezer cooking, but it often seems I choose recipes that don’t end up freezing very well (or else I don’t pack them right) and so the unfrozen food isn’t too appetizing. So I’d love tips on how to actually do this right!

about 15 years ago I did – it was not a success – but I think part of the problem was it was meals we do not normally eat, so why would they want them as frozen? Would like to try again, as long as it is “our style” meals…

[Reply]
I don’t usually freeze whole meals, but I’ll cook up lots of chicken at a time and freeze portions of that, and I chop up lots of veggies at once and freeze them in 1/2 cup portions, so when it comes to making dinner, I can just pull them out and dump them. But I wouldn’t mind having some more freezer friendly recipes of more complete meals.
[Reply]
I love freezer cooking and also do alot of meal components in the freezer. One of my favorite is to slice french bread, butter it and freeze on a cookie sheet then when frozen put in large ziplock bags. My husband can pull out a piece or two and top with garlic salt, cinnamon and sugar or just toast plain. Yummy and no bread crumb mess on the counter or bread going moldy or stale in the bread box.

I have frozen a few items to use to prepare a meal, but I would like to learn more about freezing already prepared meals to save time.

[Reply]
I do this quite often (usually just doubling/tripling meals when I make dinner). Sometimes if I have things that will go bad soon (like leftover lunchmeat) I will make dishes specifically for the freezer that we can eat later but will preserve the food I need to use up. I would love to have more ideas for recipes as we get pretty bored with the stuff I’m doing right now.

I do make ahead breakfast burritos and they are great.
But I would like to do more, what seems interesting is how to adapt recipes to be freezer friendly and bulk cooking.

I’ve never tried “full scale” freezer cooking….I’m most looking forward to finding an organized plan that would enable me to cook LOTS of meals at once, instead of just freezing leftovers.

I freeze cookie dough and fruit, but haven’t done much more than that. I guess I want to stop being intimidated by the idea, and find recipes we will like, that freeze easily, and are healthy.

My daughter is away at school and getting the inspiration to cook for one has been difficult, so when I do, I go ahead and freeze half for other days when inspiration does not hit. I’d love to give Jessica’s cookbook a try!

yes, I have done a making meals ahead party, but we are always looking for recipes that freeze well because many times ours haven’t worked
[Reply]
I’d like to see the two hours plans in the book

I liked the sites on facebook!

I have tried freezing cooking with some of fish mamas recipes on her site. I would really enjoy the planning tips.

i would love to get a few more good recipes in the freezer rotation!
[Reply]
I have done several freezer meals, and would be excited for new tips and recipes.
[Reply]
I freeze soups, lasagna, and shredded chicken…but as a new mom, I’d love to learn how to make meals that are a little more exciting and then pull them out when we need a fantastic, easy meal.
[Reply]
I’ve done some freezer cooking before, but I’d love more recipes.
[Reply]
I love to freezer cook so I’m always looking for more ideas!
[Reply]
I’ve tried some once a month mom stuff but didn’t like all the recipes, but I love to use my own in freezer cooking!
[Reply]
Usually I’m making staples like chicken stock and marinara sauce for the freezer. I would love to win a copy of this book. It sounds like she has some really creative ideas!

OMG I live out of my freezer…meaning I travel a lot for work so I cook a ton of food, freeze it and then eat it later. I would love to see new recipes for frozen meals. I feel as if I can get stuck in a rut sometimes with a ton of pasta.

I have three freeze ahead recipes, but I would sure love to try the recipes in this book to expand my repertoire.

I like to freeze soup and chili
[Reply]

I haven’t tried freezer cooking before but this book looks like it’s a great way to get started! Thanks for the great giveaway!
[Reply]
I freezer cook in large batches whenever I have a baby due for after birth (which is coming up again soon!). But with this being our 7th, and homeschooling 4 littles, as well as running my sewing business…I REALLY need to incorperate it into my busy life more often! Thank you for the chance to win!
[Reply]
I really want to try this. It would save so much time.
[Reply]
My daughter is in college, and I like prepare as much “heat & eat” food for her and her roommates. I send her back with a cooler full of meals each time she comes home. Need some new ideas!!!
[Reply]
I never had done any freezer cooking, but I need to start! I just got a new job, and I’m getting off later and commuting longer. Not having to cook a meal start-to-finish when I get home would be a huge bonus!
[Reply]
This book will definitely be a great asset in the kitchen as there never seems to be enough time to put together a good meal during the work week. Also, liked both your FB pages.
[Reply]
Before my son was born we did some freezer cooking (some taco meat, shredded chicken, and BBQ pork) and it’s been a lifesaver! I want more ideas for freezer cooking so I can save time during the week.
[Reply]
I haven’t done too much freezer cooking, although I do freeze meat. Would like to learn how to do so.
[Reply]
I have tried freezer cooking before, and I love having meals ready to go in the freezer. What I don’t love is that so many freezer recipes call for canned soup and other less-than-healthy ingredients. I’m excited to see the whole foods recipes in this book!
[Reply]
I have tried freezer meals before, but I would love to try some new recipes!
[Reply]
The only item that I make and freeze are lasagnas. I make 3 at a time but I would love to make anything else that would still tasty (like the Ginger Pork and Mushroom Lettuce Wraps).
[Reply]
Have done lasagnas and casseroles in the freezer before. Am excited to try that tasty-looking recipe on the cover!
[Reply]
I have tried very little make ahead freezer cooking, but I just bought a book on it. I would love to use the updated food that are not my mother’s meals.
[Reply]
I have tried freezer meals before with some success and some failures. The biggest problem was I made a large quantity of a new recipe and froze it only to find that no one in the family liked it! Lesson here, try it fresh at least once before stockpiling loads in the freezer!
[Reply]
I’ve never tried freezer meals – just putting up extra sauce, etc. so the thing I would be excited about would be to learn what to do.
[Reply]
I’d love to learn some good recipes for freezer meals. Since I’m heading back to work after a six month health leave book would be very helpful.
[Reply]
I shared on pinterest as Joan Osborne (southerncooker) on my cookbook giveaway board.
[Reply]
Definitely excited to try new recipes from this book as I think freezer meals are a great idea. Our family already makes/enjoys freezer meals.
[Reply]
No, I’ve never tried freezer cooking. But, in this economy, I’d like to start. This book makes it sound do-able. Thanks!
[Reply]
What a great book! I do freeze meals, but I get stuck in the lasagna, mac and cheese rut. I’d love a fresh take. Awesome.
[Reply]
I have only done basic recipes before for freeze meals so I am excited to try new recipes and how to adapt your own recipes to freeze ahead meals!
[Reply]
Homeschooling, work-from-home mom of 4, I make absolutely everything from scratch, with real food ingredients, and frequently make-ahead by doubling (or quadrupling!) dinners. However, I am a big fan of Jessica’s OLAM planner, and her stuff in general and cannot WAIT to get my hands on a copy of this. I love how she makes an awesome system out of everything. So thankful for her resources! (And this giveaway!)

I followed you on Twitter (was a follower of @FishMama, but there’s a flukey thing going on and I can’t fix it!), and tweeted the above.

I have only put extra cooked beans and diced, cooked meats in the freezer up to this point, so I can learn a lot from Jessica’s book! It sounds wonderful! Besides, I have a weakness for cookbooks, so this is on my wishlist.
[Reply]
I just started making food ahead to freeze for later. I have made plenty of bone stocks and soups and some baked oatmeal to start. It is so nice to pull out a serving and warm it up for a fast, healthy meal in no time.

I have done freezer monthly cooking a few times years ago. It was really helpful! I would love to do it again and would love some of the updated recipes in her new book
[Reply]
I’ve tried a few make-ahead freezer meals but I’d love to check out this new cookbook for some more tips and recipes!
[Reply]
I do some freezer cooking, but mostly just freezing half a casserole or something, since most recipes make too much for just me & my husband. I’d love to learn tips on how to do more!

I would love to see how she has taken some typical recipes and changed them up a bit
[Reply]
When we have enchiladas or lasagna for dinner I’ll double the recipe and stick one in the freezer, but I’ve never really attempted more than that. This book would be fantastic for us, as I’m pregnant with our first baby! My husband and I were just talking about stocking the freezer with easy meals just the other day…
[Reply]
I have tried making freezer meals before, but I often feel like they end up a little dry when baked. So I would be interested in some great recipes that don’t dry out.
[Reply]
My goal is to have a lot of freezer meals on hand when my busy work season starts in February. Usually, I’m limited to shredded chicken and already cooked ground beef.
[Reply]
I have never tried freezer make ahead dinners. I am interested in seeing just the basic instructions behind the concept.

I’ve loved following Jessica’s blog and am very excited to read her new book!

Now that mt children are grown, and all but 1 has moved out, I make the usual amount of chili, casseroles, soups, etc and freeze the rest for another meal. I also make large batches of chicken broth and freeze it for cooking with.

My favorite cookbook from 21012 is Barefoot Contessa Foolproof: Recipes You Can Trust. It’s on my Christmas Wish List. I’ve had good success with Ina Garten’s recipes and I love to watch her cooking shows on TV.
