At Prep Dish, our philosophy making ahead food for the week, so spending 2-3 hours one day a week doing all of the meal prep for the week. But we also feel strongly about always have gluten free freezer meals ready to help in pinch when schedules become hectic. Cook dishes ahead of time that can be frozen and then quickly prepared for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Whip up a fast yet nutritious and delicious meal for the whole family, without leaving out those who can't eat wheat and other gluten containing grains.
Chilies, soups, stews and lasagnas freeze very well. Many of the make ahead meal plans on Prep Dish contain gluten free, dairy free versions of these dishes. Simply double the recipe and freeze half next time one of these dishes appears on your plan. You can freeze the dish as a whole to feed the family at dinner time. Or freeze meals in individual portions and use as a homemade frozen dinner to take to work.
Gluten free muffins freeze well and can be kept on hand as a quick snack or breakfast in the mornings. Most of the Prep Dish recipes contain homemade almond flour, one of my favorites is a butternut squash muffin (very similar to pumpkin). It is fluffy, moist and scrumptious as any muffin you've ever had. Cornbread or corn muffins are another popular choice for a gluten free side that will be waiting for you in the freezer when you're in a rush.
Gluten free freezer meals use creativity and culinary skill to keep you amazed at the infinite range of possibilities for recipes even when you have to avoid wheat. These meals also keep you well-nourished, with lunches such as zucchini lasagna, pecan crusted chicken tenders and vegetarian stews. Make ahead gluten free recipes can also teach you how to make meals that can be stored with or without freezing.
