Meal Planner (App)
Freezer Cooking (App)
Plan recipes, put them in your freezer, and the Freezer feature will keep track of the meals you have available.
Updated 2 weeks ago
This feature helps you batch cook recipes and store them in the app. The Freezer keeps track of the servings, number of meals, and the date frozen.
To add a recipe to your Freezer, it first needs to be added to your meal planning calendar.
How to Freeze recipes:
Add a recipe to your Planner from the Recipe Book or from the Planner (learn more about adding meals to your App Meal Planner).
Tap the planned recipe on your Planner.
Tap Prep for Freezer
Update the number of meals and servings you want to freeze
The serving size of the planned recipe and it’s ingredients on your shopping list will automatically update to match.
Tap Add in the upper right corner
A "Prep for Freezer" note will appear above this recipe on your Planner.

From your Recipe Book, tap on the My Recipes header and select Freezer
Here you can view each frozen meal and the number of frozen meals included with each recipe.
Plan recipes from the Freezer:
From the Freezer section, tap on the frozen recipe you want to add to your Planner and select Add to Planner from the menu.
Select a date and meal time for the recipe and the recipe will be added to your meal plan.
A defrost note will appear the day prior to remind you to pull that meal out of your freezer to thaw.
You can move, edit, or delete the defrost note.
A "Frozen Meal" note will appear above the recipe on your planner.

The Freezer and the Shopping List:
If you have an existing recipe already in your home freezer and you'd like to add to the Plan to Eat Freezer, you can plan the recipe on a date in the past so it doesn't populate your current shopping list.
