Freezer Cooking
The Dinner Solution is revolutionizing Freezer Cooking (aka Once a Month Cooking or Make Ahead Cooking). 

Our system is the only one in existence that allows you to menu plan and print grocery lists for both traditional meals AND freezer meals at the same time! *


What is Freezer Cooking?

The concept of freezer cooking has been around for a long time.   Also known as make-ahead cooking or once-a-month cooking (OAMC),  it has become a popular option for busy moms.

Traditional freezer cooking involves actually cooking meals ahead of time,  then freezing them to use later. 

We prefer the more modern way of doing freezer cooking,  which is to assemble (not cook) the meal,  then freeze it.  On serving day,  you simply thaw and cook the meal.  This method still saves oodles of time,  because you don't have to prepare the meal from scratch on serving day.  Plus, you can freeze more meals at one time since you are simply assembling the meals, not cooking them ahead of time. 

But whichever method you prefer,  The Dinner Solution makes it so easy to plan for and prepare freezer meals.

You can prepare freezer meals as often as you'd like.  You can take a few hours each week while you are watching your favorite TV shows and prepare and freeze 3-5 meals.   Or you can do a once-a-month 6 hour session and prepare and freeze 12-15 meals.  It's completely up to you how often you do a meal prep session and how many meals you prepare and freeze at one time. 
 

What are the benefits of Freezer Cooking?

Bottom line,  it saves you time and money.

Saves Time:   Instead of taking the time to prepare and cook individual meals each night, consolidate your time and energy into one meal prep session per week or per month.  Then each night all you have to do is cook the thawed meal and any side dishes.  So easy!  This cuts down on your kitchen time AND your clean-up time, plus it makes dinner time so much less hectic.

Saves Money:  Preparing multiple meals at the same time allows you to buy some of your ingredients in bulk which means lower grocery costs.  In addition, simply having a meal plan saves you money because you are not spending as much money on fast food or groceries that you buy on a whim at the grocery store. 



Imagine pulling one of these home-prepared meals out of your freezer in the morning to thaw, and that night all you have to do is pop it into the oven or cook it for a short time on the stove top:

Chicken Enchiladas
Sweet and Sour Meatloaf
Sesame Beef
Pasta Bake
Chicken Parmesan

This is just a sample of the yummy meals that you can make when you do freezer cooking.
 

However, in the past,  it was very time-consuming to plan for freezer cooking. 

You had to do all of your planning by hand, including adding up all of the ingredients for multiple meals and then writing up a grocery list.  The amount of time and work involved in planning freezer meals was enough to discourage most people from trying it. 


We are happy to say that those days are over!

 We offer the only program available that provides all of these amazing features to help streamline the planning and preparation of your freezer meals.
  • Plan out your freezer meals on our Meal Planning Calendar - Easily select meals and side dishes for a week, a month, or any time frame you choose.

    • Print your Grocery Lists -  With the click of a button, you can print custom Grocery Lists.  
    Our program allows you to print one Grocery List for ingredients needed for your "Meal Assembly Day" and then a separate Grocery List each week for any fresh items needed for the freezer meals or side dishes that you plan to serve that week.
    The grocery lists are sorted by Store Aisle to make your shopping trip as efficient as possible.   BONUS:  The lists are also sorted by Store Name,  so if you buy groceries at a second store (such as a club warehouse store or a specialty store), your list will tell you which ingredients to buy at which store!  

    • Freezer labels - Custom labels to put on your freezer meals!  Includes meal name plus cooking instructions. 

    • "What's in My Freezer" list - An inventory list of all meals you've frozen after an assembly session.  Post it on your freezer and cross off the meals as you use them.  You will always know what you have left to eat in the freezer!
    • "What's for Dinner" Fridge Report -  After you plan your meals for the week,  print this report and post it on your fridge.  At a quick glance, both you and your family can see what you will be serving for dinner that week.  Your family will be so happy to see the list of yummy meals!



    We love freezer cooking and think it's indisputably one of the best ways a busy mom can save time and organize her life.

    Since we couldn't find any other tool that helped us automate and organize our freezer cooking with all of the tools that we wanted and needed, we decided to create our own. 

    The Dinner Solution is the ultimate menu planning and freezer cooking system.
