MyFreezEasy ~ a TOS review

I am a busy mom. There I said it! Now I don’t wear this “label” as a badge of honor, rather, I just try to take care of my people the best way I can with God’s daily guidance. Part of that job is feeding them well balanced meals. We are blessed to be a sports family and that keeps us busy and on the go, especially in the winter and spring. Two of my girls are competitive gymnasts who train 15-28 hours a week {a week people! But that’s another blog post :-)}, then I have softball players, a track runner, and a little guy who loves to run and play. Throw in homeschooling, Girl Scouts, AWANA, and housekeeping for good measure and you can see why I am busy sun up to sun down. But don’t get me wrong I love taking care of my family... I am blessed.

MyFreezEasy.com Freezer Meal Plan Membership {MyFreezEasy}

Cooking and baking comes naturally for me as I had the best role model of a gourmet chef from my mother. Although I don’t always enjoy the process because at times I have my own issues with food. On top of that, my youngest daughter has allergies and sensitivities to gluten, sugar (natural and artificial), and lactose, so serving something she can eat has been a challenge lately. That’s why I am so happy to have been chosen to try out the MyFreezEasy.com Freezer Meal Plan Membership from MyFreezEasy.

MyFreezEasy has made the freezer cooking so simple! With a membership to MyFreezEasy in less than an hour you will make 10-12 delicious meals. I know you are probably thinking that these meals will be bland and boring, right? NOPE, not one bit. With a basic membership ($7 a month, or $77 for a year) you have access to 8 meal plans each month, while premium membership ($10 a month, or $95 a year) gives you access to all existing meal plans plus the option to create your own meal plan and to adjust the serving sizes of the meals.

With so many different meals to choose from and at least 8 new meals added each month you are sure to find a meal to your liking. The monthly meal plans available are:

• Traditional Plan – 10 meals: a mix of different types of meals

• Gluten-Free Plan – 10 meals: completely gluten-free including sides

• Slow Cooker Plan – 10 meals: all freezer to slow cooker style

• Clean Eats Plan – 10 meals: all “clean ingredients” • 20 Meals Plan – 20 meals: mix of different types of meals

• All Chicken Plan – 10 meals: all recipes using chicken breasts/chicken thighs, so you can get the chicken on sale and stock your freezer

• All Ground Beef Plan – 10 meals: all recipes using ground beef so you can get the ground beef on sale and stock your freezer

• All Pork Chops Plan – 10 meals: all recipes using pork chops or pork tenderloin so you can get the pork on sale and stock your freezer

Each meal plan includes how to serve it tonight or how to prep it to freeze and serve later with helpful prep and meal assembly instructions. In addition to all the meal plans offered you have access to assembly videos for each meal. Plus meal plans are also broken down into helpful shopping lists:

~ shop by recipe

~ shop by store category or aisle

~ freezer meal prep day shopping day by recipe

~ freezer meal prep day by category or aisle

For our first meal plan I used the create your own option and created:

~ slow cooker Teriyaki Chicken

~ upside down nacho skillet

~ cornbread pork chop casserole

~ slow cooker beef stew

~ best meatloaf ever

All of the meals were a hit with everyone in the family so I didn't have to worry about any wasted food. The reminder email at the beginning of the month is a lifesaver for me. Just having that gentle nudge to remind me of new recipes is a huge plus in my book. I also love that printable labels are included for each meal. There is no need to try and guess what exactly is in the freezer bag. Cooking instructions are also included so you won’t have to look up just how to reheat the meal.

Because I know my own limitations I had never tried freezer cooking before now. The thought of batch cooking meals used to scare me, but with the gentle hand holding that I get from MyFreezEasy it takes away some of the anxiety. I also love that I can tailor the meals to my low carb, high fat way of eating by switching a few ingredients here or there. Knowing I have prepared meals in the freezer with the help of this membership makes freezer cooking so fast and easy there is no excuse as to why we don’t have a warm cooked meal on the table each night even with our busy schedule.
