For the Love of Food

50+ Freezer Meals That Will Save the Day!

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!

🦀 Check out our lunch yesterday at my parents favorite local spot, @soiasianbistro . We tried a variety of items off of their massive updated menu.
🍣 The sushi was by far the best thing we ordered. Another must try is the Shiso Mono appetizer, which is tempura fried Japanese basil leaves stuffed with spiced tuna. 
🍤 We also ordered cucumber salad, pork ramen, udon noodles, and chicken katsu curry. All were tasty and big enough to share with the sushi appetizer. 
🍜 I recommend checking out Soi Bistro if you are in town and enjoy fresh seafood and Asian dishes like we do. But save it for a date night or special occasion b/c their price point was pretty high for a casual meal. ❤

Happy Mardi Gras! We enjoyed a delicious Cajun inspired meal tonight at home. We started with Shrimp and Grits and ended with Bananas Foster to share. We may not live in Louisiana anymore but we can still celebrate #FatTuesday ! Here's hoping the parades will be back next year. 📿❤ #mardigras2020 #bananasfoster #whatsfordinner #mardigras

It's one of those days...furnance went out (but was fixed), kids took over my bed, husband had to leave early for work, dog barked non stop, and it's a snow day... again. But the sun is shining, the kids are happy, and I'm stocked up on coffee and new books. So it's not so bad after all. #staypositive
