Freezer meals are a popular meal prep technique where you batch prep a lot of meals all at once, then store them in the freezer for future use. Our service is designed to take the busy work out of meal prep by doing all the planning, shopping, and prep work then ship the meals directly to your home.
Our Slow Cooker freezer meals are meant to be cooked in the slow cooker. This includes our Classic, Gluten-Free, and Protein+ Menus. Our Flat Top meals can be cooked on your flat top grill, griddle, or skillet.
Your meals will arrive cold, and you will store them in your freezer until you are ready to use them or thaw them. They can last for six months in your freezer.
Our meals are offered as monthly pre-selected menus, rather than à la carte.
Because our meals are prepared and packaged in batches, we’re unable to offer individual meal selections, substitutions, or customizations within a box at this time. This allows us to maintain consistency and quality across every order while keeping our meals ready to ship directly to your door.
We’re always evaluating ways to make our ordering experience more flexible, so individual meal selection may be something we offer in the future.
No, our meals do not come with sides (i.e. tortillas, pasta, rice, etc.) Our meals are designed as the base of your meal, typically including the protein, sauce, and seasonings. Using what you have in your pantry or fridge, you can serve them over rice or pasta, in tacos or wraps, or however your family prefers.
We don’t include sides because each meal can be served in different ways, and fresh sides wouldn’t have the same freezer shelf life as our meals. For serving ideas and variations, visit Our Meals on our website.
Cooking instructions depend on which menu you ordered.
Slow Cooker Meals: Most slow cooker meals can be cooked directly from frozen or thawed in a slow cooker. Each meal has specific cooking instructions, so be sure to follow the directions listed on the label.
Flat Top Meals: Flat Top Meals should be thawed for 24–48 hours before cooking and are prepared on a flat top grill, griddle, or skillet. Most meals take about 15–20 minutes to cook.
Holiday Boxes: Our seasonal holiday boxes will come with their own cooking instruction booklet. These boxes usually require cooking in the oven, on the stove, or in the microwave.
You can find the specific cooking instructions, ingredients, and serving suggestions for each meal on our Our Meals page.
Your meals arrive in an insulated box packed with dry ice, gel ice packs, and insulation to help keep them cold during transit. Meals are shipped frozen and are designed to remain at a safe temperature throughout the delivery process.
It’s normal for some meals or sauces to be partially thawed when they arrive. As long as the meals arrive cold to the touch or partially frozen and at 40°F or below, they can be placed directly in your freezer.
We recommend bringing your order inside and freezing your meals as soon as possible on the day they’re delivered, but you do not have to be home for delivery.
