Make weeknights easier and stress-free with these freezer-friendly meals every busy mom should always have on hand!
As moms, we know how chaotic the week can get—school runs, work deadlines, chores, and everything else in between. And when 6 PM hits, the last thing we want to do is wonder “Ano na naman ang ulam?” That’s where freezer-friendly meals come in!
I can’t tell you how many times these lifesavers have kept me sane during hectic days. Having a batch of ready-to-go meals in the freezer means I can just reheat, serve, and still feel like I’m giving my family a hearty, homecooked meal without the stress.
Some of my go-to freezer-friendly meals are:
- Adobo – This Filipino classic actually tastes better the next day, so it’s perfect for storing and reheating.
- Baked Mac or Lasagna – Perfect for weekend prep, then just slice, freeze, and reheat for a quick dinner or baon.
- Chicken Curry – The flavors deepen overnight, making it even more delicious when reheated.
- Empanadas – Bake a batch, freeze, and reheat for merienda or school baon.
- Marinated Meats – Think tapa, tocino, or chicken teriyaki. Keep them frozen and ready to fry anytime.
The secret is portioning them properly before freezing. I usually use freezer-safe containers or resealable bags, label them with the date, and stack them neatly para hindi gulo sa freezer. When it’s time to eat, it feels like I’ve given myself the gift of extra time and peace of mind.
So if you’ve ever felt burned out by meal prep, trust me—start small with one or two freezer-friendly dishes a week. Soon, you’ll wonder how you ever survived without them!
