Adding sweet and sour steak to your menu rotation is a delightful idea. My mother used to prepare this dish and serve it over mashed potatoes. However, I also enjoy it with rice.

Last month we started a Monthly Freezer Meals Workshop, offered here for Free. Recipes, Shopping List and Live Video (on our Facebook page) One of the ways I like to stay on track with family meals, instead of eating out or making completely unhealthy choices, is by preparing Freezer Meals. By creating a monthly freezer meal workshop, we are not prepping EVERY meal for the month, but we are starting a prepped meal stock in our freezer. We invite you to join in and prep along with us or do it at a later date.
New Year! It’s time for a new homecooked meal strategy (or implementing one I know has worked for us in the past!). One of the ways I like to stay on track with family meals, instead of eating out or making completely unhealthy choices, is by preparing Freezer Meals. By creating a monthly freezer meal workshop, we are not prepping EVERY meal for the month, but we are starting a prepped meal stock in our freezer. We invite you to join in and prep along with us or do it at a later date.
Prepping freezer meals is such a time saver and in the summer it is life-changing. In the summer months, we tend to get off schedule more with fewer routines in place, and that is when popping into the grocery store or fast-food restaurant happens. If you take a little time once a month, to prep 15-20 freezer meals, you can not only save time but also money!
Most of the freezer meals we prep for the summer are either slow cooker/instant pot friendly or BBQ friendly. This pork recipe is super easy and can be prepared in the Instant Pot / Slow cooker if a roast, or on the BBQ as well, if chops.
Some other freezer meal favourites of ours are:
Prepping meals, especially freezer meals, keeps me on track with eating home-cooked meals and meals that fit our lifestyle. No running to the frozen food at the grocery store to pick up a pizza, or grabbing fast food.
This recipe is a slow cooker recipe, it could be done in the instant pot for 15 min if you forgot to take it out of the freezer, but I prefer it in the slow cooker. Stir is well to combine if doing in an instant pot.
In this video, I prepped this recipe for Chicken & Bacon Chowder, as well as an easy taco bake.
Chicken Fajitas are a family favourite and so easy to prep ahead. We often have all the extra ingredients on hand to make these up. in addition to the ingredients to make up the freezer meals you will need tortillas, sour cream, salsa, or any other toppings you enjoy.
Here is a video with this recipe as well as a Cheesy Chicken Penne and Twice Baked Enchilada Sweet Potatoes.
Chicken Fajita Kits
Pasta dishes are comfort food for me. Having meals like this ready to pop in the oven or slow cooker is always nice any time of the year.

When preparing meals ahead to freeze we often think of meat, stews, pasta or soups. One of my favourite foods to have prepped is twice baked potatoes. This recipe for Twice Baked Enchilada Sweet Potatoes is even better. It can be served as the main course, or as a side to other veggies or meat. … Read more
