Company coming? Don’t spend all your time in the kitchen! This free printable plan is your key to freezer cooking for company.
Whether you’ve got folks coming in for Easter or friends coming to spend spring break, having a few freezer meals on hand can make your time with them so much more fun!
Last fall when my brother got married here in San Diego, I hosted a family dinner as well as a day-after brunch at our house. There were almost 30 people here!
I knew I couldn’t pull it off by myself without a little prep ahead work, so I spent a few hours in the kitchen making meals that were freezer-friendly as well as fit for company.
I am pleased to say that both events went off pretty easily thanks to freezer cooking for company.

I usually just have pies ready to bake in the oven. Though, with another baby on the way, this is something that I am trying to plan ahead for. Did that more for last baby and was awesome to have those back up meals.
