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
