Sausage and Eggs to Go
Let’s start with a long-time Primal favorite…. For breakfast, a healthy snack, or a quick lunch, you won’t find a recipe much better than these gems. Lots of flavor and a wallop of protein will keep you fully satisfied until you have time to sit down to a larger meal.
Freeze a bunch of these sausage and eggs on the go wrapped individually in foil and thrown into a freezer bag.
For the best texture when reheated, defrost overnight in the fridge first, then reheat briefly in the microwave.
Primal Pancakes
For breakfast on busy weekday mornings, pull a pancake out of the freezer and pop it in the microwave. No need to defrost first! Pancakes can also be wrapped in foil and reheated in the oven.
To freeze, stack pancakes with parchment paper in between so they don’t stick together, and put a bunch in a freezer bag. Hint: these work well for kids’ lunches. What child will turn down a “breakfast” meal after all?
Slow Cooked Pork
A great strategy for freezer-friendly meals is simply freezing portions of cooked meat. The meat can be defrosted and used to make a variety of different meals.
Shredded pork is a great example. Cook a whole pork shoulder, cool and shred it, then freeze in smaller portions. The defrosted pork can be used in salads, tacos, stir-fries, or as the main course with steamed veggies on the side. Korean short ribs also freeze well and can be turned into a quick meal.
Green Goddess Chicken Breasts
Cook a big sheet pan of Green Goddess chicken breasts, then shred the cooled meat and freeze.
Like shredded pork, shredded chicken can be stored in smaller portions and defrosted for a wide variety of quick meals (stir-fries, tacos, salads, soups and stews). Add additional Green Goddess for flavor if desired.
Chili & “Cornbread“
Any type of chili freezes well, but this lamb chili is especially delicious. For a complete meal (and delicious pairing), freeze a loaf of Primal cornbread, too.
When freezing the cornbread, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper, then put in a freezer bag.
