When life gets hectic, nothing beats a real, home-cooked dinner that just needs a quick reheat. These freezer-friendly recipes are your meal-time MVPs—especially the Dairy-Free Chicken Pot Pie, a creamy, comforting classic that’s just as dreamy straight from the freezer.
It’s rich and cozy, wrapped in a perfectly flaky crust, and the best part? There’s zero dairy—so it’s easy on the stomach.
💡Freezer-Friendly Tip: Let your pot pie cool completely before freezing, then wrap it tightly in foil and pop it in a freezer-safe bag or container. When you're ready to reheat, bake it straight from frozen at 375°F until the crust is golden and the filling is hot and bubbly—usually 45–60 minutes. It’s like instant comfort food, minus the prep mess!
Tender braised chicken thighs and savory sausage in a rich tomato sauce—this meal is rich, cozy, and full of bold flavor. 😋
💡Freezer-Friendly Tip: Once the dish has cooled, pop it into an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. When you're ready to enjoy, thaw it overnight in the fridge, then warm it up in a sauté pan. To check if it’s heated through, stick a metal skewer or paring knife into the thickest part of the chicken—it should feel hot to the touch. Serve over pasta, polenta, or with mashed potatoes.
Tender, slow-roasted pork shoulder meets caramelized root veggies—finished with a zesty mustard sauce that ties it all together.
💡Freezer-Friendly Tip: Store any leftover pork and veggies in an airtight container— they’ll keep in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. When you're ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat in the microwave or in a 350°F oven with a splash of chicken broth to keep everything juicy and flavorful.
