How to Use This Grain Free Freezer
Cooking Guide:
Reasons for freezer cooking
Bulk cooking can save time, energy, and sanity. Multiple batches of one dish can be made with
different variations, which saves time grocery shopping, getting out ingredients, organizing the
recipes, and washing dishes. Having a full freezer means that you only need to pull out a dish in
the morning, glance at the reheating instructions, and not think about dinner again until that
evening.
Having a freezer stocked with nourishing foods will help you to include more wholesome foods
in your diet since all the work has been done beforehand. Freezer cooking is perfect for singles,
couples, young families, work at home parents, stay at home parents, work outside the home
parents, etc. Really, anyone can benefit from having a freezer stocked and ready to go!
To stay the most efficient, these blocks should be planned to be together (i.e. you use meat
cooked on meat days to put together Shepard’s pies after you cut/cook the veggies on veggie
day), but they can span several days and still fill up your freezer with nourishing foods.
A Note on Time
As you become used to the recipes, it will go faster. For example, it’s typical for someone new to
GAPS to spend 30 minutes or longer picking the meat off a chicken and then putting the carcass
in the pot for stock, where those of us who have been doing it weekly for years can go from a
cooked chicken to simmering stock in in 10 minutes.
To keep from getting overwhelmed try to stop cooking as soon as you start to feel tired or the
kids start to get antsy, so you’re not left exhausted with a big kitchen full of dirty dishes.
There is a space for you to write in when the meal was frozen, for future reference. There is also
an ingredient list, which you can edit as you use different ingredients. The ingredient list is to
remind you of any potential allergens when serving guests or changing your own diet. When
Grain Free Meal Plans Freezer Cooking Guide Copyright Health, Home, and Happiness, LLC 2012 ~2~
more than one ingredient is called for (ie butter, ghee, or coconut oil) circle the one you used, to
remind yourself.
That said, I know many people who successfully freeze in mason jars, but I am just not one of
those people
Casserole dishes are handy for pre-made casseroles. Extras in often used sizes (8x8” and 9x13”)
can be found at garage sales and thrift stores. Aluminum isn’t ideal for storing since aluminum is
more reactive than glass, but again, do what works for your family. The disposable aluminum
casserole dishes can be re-used, or recycled if necessary. When life gets busy, a homemade meal
in an aluminum container is preferable to take out every time.
When putting meals into the freezer it’s important to keep them level and flat. When freezing the
soup packs and other liquid ingredients, remove as much air as possible from the zip top bags and
then freeze flat. Later you can store them vertical (like books) if you’d like, I assure you a frozen
flat square is much easier to work with than a frozen oddly shaped blob.
Cold weather note: If you live where outside temperatures get below freezing, the great outdoors
works wonderful to initially freeze your food! When we lived in Montana I often did this! Not
only does it save on the electricity that the freezer would have used to cool the food to freezing
temperature, but it also allows you to easily freeze many things flat and level without having to
stack them like you would in a freezer.

Poppers as the beef cooks.
Ingredients:
2 pounds boneless chicken
10 Anaheim chilies
2 pound bacon
3 limes (optional)
Wooden Skewers
Directions:
Freeze the chicken for 20 minutes (set a timer so you
don’t forget!) so it is easier to cut. Cut into bite-sized
pieces.
Wash the chilies, cut the stem off, and cut a slit down
the side. Use your finger, under running water, to
remove seeds. Cut chilies into 2-inch long segments.
Push the roll up all the way to the end and then continue
with the chicken/pepper/bacon wraps, spacing them
about 1/8 – ¼ inch apart on the skewer, 4-6 to a skewer.
