    Family Favorite Freezer Recipes are featured as part of our Weekly Meal Plan. I thought it would be great to learn how to plan dinner ahead by making a few recipes that are delicious to enjoy now and freeze for later.

    I love the idea of taking the time now to prepare a meal that you can enjoy with your family and also freeze a portion to enjoy later when life is busy.

    One of my favorite family favorite freezer recipes to make in large quantity is my recipe for Italian Breaded Chicken Cutlets. Once, they're made I'll wrap them individually in aluminum foil and place in a freezer safe plastic bag.

    Then on busy nights, I can pull as many as I need to easily defrost and serve with a salad or mashed potatoes. These also work great as the base for preparing my Chicken Parmesan Recipe.

    Together with printable menus available for you to customize for your family’s dinner, you can use these recipes to inspire your meal planning this week. Make sure you check out 10 Essentials Pantry Items and  Freezer Meal Planning Tips to further help you customize your family’s dinner. Let’s talk about this week’s meal plan!

    Freezer Inventory Printable

    This week I'm including a FREE Freezer Inventory Printable to everyone. Print this out and use it when planning your family favorite freezer recipes and meals this week.

    Meal Planning Categories

    This is just an example of how I like to meal plan. You could also incorporate a “leftover meal” or even “clean out the refrigerator” night. This is something we do at least once a week or every 10 days.

    Assign each day of the week a different category and then plan a meal according to that category.

    • Monday - Beef.
    • Tuesday - Italian Night.
    • Wednesday - Chicken, Beef or Fish
    • Thursday - Pasta or Italian Night
    • Friday - Sandwiches and Soup
    • Saturday - Pizza or Eat Out, Order In
    • Sunday - Comfort Food Meal
    5 freezer friendly family recipes.

    Now, pick a side dish to serve with the recipes listed above. Side dishes should include potatoes or rice along with one or two veggies. A tossed salad with homemade ranch salad dressing is always nice too.
