Freezer cooking and busy homeschooling families go well together, wouldn’t you say? My friend Jessica Fisher thinks so, and her new cookbook–Not Your Mother’s Make-Ahead and Freeze Cookbook–recently released to rave reviews!

Jessica is a homeschooling mama of six children, a monthly contributor here on Simple Homeschool, and the popular writer of two blogs: Life as Mom and Good Cheap Eats.

Here’s what she had to say about her cookbook:

NYM-Make-Ahead-and-Freeze-CV-450

My first cookbook, Not Your Mother’s Make-Ahead and Freeze Cookbook is designed to be your one-stop shop for all things freezer cooking. Loaded with over 200 freezer-friendly recipes, it also provides the know-how to make bulk cooking successful for any family, any household, any lifestyle.

I’ve made freezer cooking a part of my family’s good eating for the last sixteen years. It’s been a great method to help us eat well and stay on budget.

Plus it keeps me sane in a busy household with six kids!

For years I found myself frustrated with the freezer cookbooks I flipped through. They often featured a lot of processed mixes and canned foods and sauces. Canned cream of something soup, anyone? No thanks. I want to feed my family real food, not a mess of chemicals.

In Not Your Mother’s Make-Ahead and Freeze Cookbook, I’ve made every effort to reduce commercially-processed foods wherever possible.  I love that bulk cooking can make it so much easier to eat real food!

And contrary to what you might have previously thought, homemade frozen dinners can be absolutely delicious. My taste testers are still raving about and requesting Mahi Mahi with Almond-Lime Butter, Roasted Vegetable Quiche and Caramel Lime Bars.

Here’s what you’ll find in this book:

  • Over 200 recipes to make ahead and freeze
  • General instruction in freezer cooking
  • A methodology to adapt your own recipes for freezing
  • Gluten-free and vegetarian options
  • Tips for bulk cooking with kids, with friends, and on your own
  • Fresh inspiration and 21st century flavors and ingredients
  • Want to see a detailed list of contents? Go here.

    I’ve tried to make and freeze but not on a regular basis. This year with a larger garden I am hoping to freeze more dinners.

    I likedLife As Mom on FB : )

    I’ve only ever frozen soups ahead, and love being able to pull them out and have something warm. I’d love some more good ideas!

    I did freezer cooking to prepare for an extended recovery from surgery. Would love to continue doing it as it really made the day go so much easier knowing that a little extra effort made dinner time so much easier!

    I freezer cook regularly and like to keep at least 6 meals on-hand at any time. It is like money in the bank when we get caught up in busy schedule. It’s a relief to have a quick healthy meal ready to go. Would love check out the cookbook for new ideas.

    I put meals in the freezer whenever I unintentionally make enough for two meals – but I am totally inspired now for it to become regular and planned! Thanks for the giveaway!

    I have never tried freezer cooking but am eager to get started. I used to think this was a crazy idea. Now with a busy lifestyle and household of my own, I can see freezer cooking has huge timesaving benefits.
