Recently I flew home to be with my family during my Dad’s heart surgery. This was not a planned procedure and obviously quite scary for all of us. Since my parents were not prepared they did not have meals stocked up for the recovery time, which is both exhausting for the patient {my Dad} and the caregiver {my Mom}. Sometimes I truly felt helpless just sitting there waiting. I knew I wanted to help them as best I could and besides running errands I knew stocking up their freezer with meals would help them tremendously in the coming weeks. My philosophy has always been Food is Love and this was my way of showing it.
Dad and me before his surgery last month.
My parents are two of my favorite people in the whole world.
I have put together this list of over 50 of my favorite Freezer Ready Meals for you to enjoy. Hopefully this will come in handy if you have a sick family member, friend in need, or even new parents that are too exhausted to cook! These meals can be prepared and frozen so all the recipient has to do it defrost and heat up. Easy peasy and super helpful!
