Save Time With Trim Healthy Mama Slow Cooker Freezer Meals

There’s no getting around it—cooking from scratch often takes more time. But if you plan carefully, you can get some of the prep work done ahead of time, or even have most of the meal ready to go when you need it. The wonderful thing about Trim Healthy Mama slow cooker freezer meals is that they can go straight from the freezer to your crock-pot, saving you even more time!

Save Time With Trim Healthy Mama Slow Cooker Freezer Meals

 Almost every busy homemaker I know loves to save time in the kitchen. There are just so many more exciting and needful things to be doing! Last summer (about 6 months ago) I decided to spend a few days in the kitchen making freezer meals to save some time when school started.
I found this list of Trim Healthy Mama freezer-to-crock pot recipes after seeing someone else’s post on the Trim Healthy Mama Facebook page. I doubled the recipes for our family (and a couple of them I think I even quadrupled). The really great thing about these recipes is that you just take them out of the freezer, put them in the crock pot and then let them cook all day. Practically effortless meals!

They’re pretty simple to put together, but some of them are a bit time consuming due to all of the chopping required for the fresh vegetables. Some of the recipes we absolutely loved! And they were such a huge timesaver. All in all, I was so happy I took the time to make these, especially on days where we’ve been really busy.

I’m always on the lookout for more freezer-to-crock-pot meals, and I try to pin them on my Pinterest board when I find them.

I just noticed that the original website where I found these freezer meals has several more sessions available with more recipes!  She now has the following Trim Healthy Mama slow cooker freezer meals cooking sessions available (and some for breakfast!):

More Freezer Recipes

I recently discovered that this Chicken Spaghetti Squash Casserole recipe is also freezer-friendly!

And, this Freezer to Crockpot Cilantro Lime Chicken is also THM-friendly:

How to Modify for THM

I’m currently on the Premium Monthly Plan, and so far I’m loving it!

Some of the meals work perfectly for THM as they are, and others require a few simple substitutions (like choosing low-sugar pasta sauce, using cauli-rice instead of rice, etc.).

What I do is I go through the list of available meal options for the month, and I pick out the ones that I feel will work for our family. If it’s a dish that will work without modification (and I’ve found lots of these on the meal plan!), all I have to do is adjust the side dish suggestions. For example, if the meal is supposed to be served with rice, I’ll make rice for my kids and cauli-rice for my husband and myself.

If the recipe requires 2 tablespoons of brown sugar (for instance), then I’ll substitute with a homemade THM-friendly brown sugar substitute.

Unlike other freezer plans, this one is actually affordable, and it’s so incredibly helpful for busy women. Check it out here!

    Wow, I can see how this would be of great help to busy mamas and busy professional women and/or both! It’s wonderful that you can apply to those with special diets too. Who wouldn’t love just popping it into the crockpot?
