    Do you have am idea of the calories for any or all of these meals? And do you think a vegetarian version could work?

      I'm sorry, I have no idea how many calories these have without entering each ingredient into My Fitness Pal. I'm not very familiar with vegetarian meals either, so I'm not a lot of help. Sorry!

      I like to get it out the night before so that it is ready in the morning. If you forget to do that (like I often do), you can stick it in the microwave on defrost. I generally do it for 2 pounds worth….and even if it's not all the way defrosted, it's close enough.

    does this work like other slow cooker recipes where it can be 3-4 hours on high OR 6-8 on low?? Just curious because I will need this to cook for 6 hours while i am gone.

      Yes, it should be the same.

    Does the chicken have to be frozen before adding to the freezer bag????

      I would say it could be added either way. If you normally buy it thawed (but not previously frozen), it would be OK to add it to the freezer bag that way. I just wouldn't do it if it had been frozen and then thawed. You're more in danger of bacteria issues when you refreeze raw meat.

    How many people do your recipes serve? I have 6 children also, with 3 teenage boys and I'm wondering if your recipes will feed my crew or if I need to double them.

      Well, I have 2 teenagers, but we usually have leftovers, so I think you'd be OK with not doubling them. On the chicken dishes (like chicken & rice), I'd be sure to just add some extra chicken breast to be sure and have enough.

    do you cook the rice first or just put the raw stuff in the bag with all the other ingredients, then into the freezer???

      I usually don't precook it. You can put it in the bag for the freezer…..or you can just add it to the crockpot that day. I prefer to add it that day without freezing it because wet rice sticks to the bag.

        When you say that you prefer to just add it to the crockpot that day, do you mean cooked or dry, uncooked rice? Sorry, I'm a little slow 🙂

          No problem, I'm not always extremely clear. 🙂 Uncooked is what I meant.

    is this brown rice? i usually have brown basmati rice… does that work in this recipie?

    Reply
    • Sidetracked Sarah says

      September 5, 2012 at 1:08 am

      Yes….I used short grain brown rice in mine. I’m sure the basmati would work, although I’ve never cooked with it. You may want to consider using a little extra liquid if it needs to cook longer than regular brown rice. Just a thought.

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
