Prep Freeze Serve: Freezer Meals: Easy Freezer Meals: Great Tasting, Great Value Meals You Can Create in Advance (The Home Life Series Book 4)

This is a great little book on freezer cooking with delicious recipes and excellent prepping, cooking, freezing and reheating instructions. It includes both types of freezer cooking methods: cook ahead and just reheat, or freeze ahead and cook later. The recipes are mostly practical and very usable with easily found ingredients. I subtracted one star for no table of contents which is a time-saver for end-users. I especially like the out-of-box ideas on frozen homemade pizzas, calzones, and chicken pot pies; recipes I have not seen in other freezer cookbooks.

A variety of easy recipes for dinner including chicken, pork, beef and seafood. Also included a lot of freeing tips to make dinner time pain free

Melinda Rolf’s book “Prep Freeze Serve: Easy Freezer Meals…” is full of good ideas for preparing meals in advance. My first reaction to the Host Roast Beef Sandwiches recipe was – really? Why would I prepare ahead of time and freeze a roast beef sandwich? But as I read on with Melinda’s explanation, I realized that there are many times after a long, rough day when the idea of just being able to whip out a sandwich with little or no effort makes perfectly good sense. She has included many good recipes that can be prepared ahead of time. Some so good you might not want to freeze and instead have right away. The Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches, Chick Pot Pie, Calzones and Twice Baked Potatoes are my favorites so far. There are good instructions as to how to freeze, thaw and then cook/warm up the meals. Heartily recommended.

Although I'm sure the recipes will be good I was surprised/disappointed the size of this cookbook for the money. It's only 45 pages which is one of the smallest cookbooks I've seen.

I've always wanted to learn how to prepare meals for later use. I was fortunate to find Melinda Rolf's book, "Prep Freeze Serve".I love the fact that the author covers all 3 phases of preparing food in advance. First she includes many tasty recipes and walks you through their preparation. Then you are given easy-to-follow instructions for freezing each of the dishes you have prepared. Finally, you are shown exactly what to do to take your meals from freezer to table.As a super-busy person that demands high-quality, delicious, and healthy food, this book was a perfect fit for me. Highly recommended!

Not what I expected. Recipes either two simple or too complicated and there are not enough of them either

I thank you for putting in recipes on pork and seafood in addition to beef, and chicken. The book also has some recipes to freeze soups. I never knew it was possible before reading this book. A must buy for all the busy people who prefer takeaway rather than home cooked food.
